The transaction also includes investment from private equity firm Seneca Partners.

Maven originally invested in Bright Network in July 2018, alongside existing and angel investors to support the launch of a new Software as a Service (SaaS) solution.

Bright Network chairman is Zach Miles, former CEO of multi-national recruitment company Vedior. James Uffindell is Bright Network’s founder and CEO.

The network has around 280,000 graduate or student members and client organisations include Goldman Sachs, EY, Dyson, P&G and the armed forces, to name a few. 

The Maven statement said this latest funding will support investment in smart matching technology capabilities and enhancing sales and marketing resources.
