Just under 48 hours of launching their second crowdfunding campaign, UK tech firm JobLab has hit its goal of £200,000.

“The new types of businesses that will have market share will have found a way to align themselves so that every side is getting net positive value,” he said.

“JobLab adds value to employers, to candidates and to the business and ultimately investors. I know a winner when I see one.”

The investment round, also endorsed by former UCAS Chief Executive Mary Curnock Cook, has attracted huge support since it was opened to the public on Crowdcube.
