We are delighted to share that two of our portfolio companies, 15gifts and Dynamic Planner, have been recognised at the BVCA Vision Awards 2025 (London & South East).
15gifts received the International Expansion award, highlighting its innovation and global growth. The judges praised the company for being a market leader in generative AI agents, which simulate real conversations using over a decade of data. With impressive growth, global expansion, and a people-first culture, its leadership has driven innovation, performance, and inclusive growth - setting a benchmark in AI-powered customer engagement.
Dynamic Planner was named the winner in the Scale-up category for its commitment to customer-focused digital advice and continued momentum. The judging panel were impressed by Dynamic Planner’s unique offerings, ability to remain competitive and scale rapidly whilst continuing to drive a strong product roadmap, and champion ESG responsibilities.
These awards are a fantastic recognition of the ambition, creativity and impact of both teams - and we are proud to be part of their journeys. Supported by Headline Sponsor Grant Thornton and Supporting Sponsor Santander, the BVCA Vision Awards honour the management teams of companies backed by private equity and venture capital, recognising both companies and their investors across different investment stages and categories.
Tom Cox, CEO of 15gifts We’re incredibly proud to receive this recognition, which reflects the hard work and dedication of the entire 15gifts team. This award is a moment to reflect on how far we’ve come. The launch of Humara, our AI sales agent, has redefined what’s possible in digital sales by uniquely combining the psychology and craft of human sales experts with cutting-edge AI.
