Idea

Introduction

Did you know that 26% of an employees' time in the workplace is wasted on repetitive, manual tasks? And did you know that UK businesses lose more that £37bn a year because of poor customer service?

These are the issues we're fixing with our enterprise SaaS platform, Intelagent.

Welcome to intelligent automation... powered by conversation.

We Build Bots (WBB) is a multi award winning intelligent automation company.

Our enterprise SaaS platform is called Intelagent, and is used by customers in the government, transport, education, utilities, third, and sports sectors to build, integrate, train, test and launch service automation tools like chatbots and voicebots that can be powered by voice or text.

These bots can be used to serve employees and customers, taking care of the mundane tasks to save time, save money, and deliver a great user experience.

We currently work with 15 enterprise customers, have a churn rate of 6.25% (1/16 based on 3-year contracts), and have generated £1.5m in revenues.

Substantial accomplishments to date

It's been an amazing 3 years since we raised our Seed round. Here are just some of the highlights.

- Grown team to 15
- Established global partner network

- Generated £1.5m in revenues
- Secured 15 enterprise customers
- Secured ISO27001 accreditation
- Winners of Tech Nation Rising Star

- Selected as a Tech Nation Applied AI member
- Selected as PwC Scale for Transport partner
- Developed specific product for education called Schoolroom
- Developed proprietary NLP engine - KBase
- Covered in Forbes, BBC, ITV, Business Insider and Sifted

Monetisation strategy

WBB is a SaaS vendor. Our platform, Intelagent is licensed, typically on 3 year contracts. These are paid annually in advance.

We have 3 tiers of pricing;

starter (£5988 p/a)
pro (£30,000 p/a)
enterprise (£54,000 p/a).

Our most popular tier is pro - £30,000 p/a.

Over 3 years that means a total contract value of £90,000.

We do small amounts of billable integration work too but this type of work is handled largely by our clients or integration partners.

Around 90% of our revenue is recurring revenue.

Use of proceeds

We are raising funds to extend our runway with the aim of building our annualised recurring revenues to £1m+ by August 2022.

The funds raised will be used for operational expenditure (runway), but also to expedite our revenue growth.

In order to expedite this recurring revenue growth we will:

- Add 2 x Sales Development Representatives (SDR) @ £30k p/a
- Add 1 x Dev Ops lead to support our channel partner efforts @ £50k p/a
- Increase marketing spend to £10,000 per month (currently £5000 p/m)

Key information

Loan

The company has an outstanding £50k bounce back loan backed by the government. Funds raised as part of this raise will not be used to pay back this loan.

Outstanding Convertible Loan

In 2020 We Build Bots raised £423k through the government Future Fund scheme. This investment was structured as a convertible loan note and you are able to find details of this on their previous campaign here https://www.seedrs.com/webuildbots2.

The loan will convert to equity if this campaign raises over £422,840. We have priced the effect of this into the pre-money valuation of the company, so that it is presented on a fully-diluted basis. If the loan isn't converted by this round then it will remain outstanding and may convert in the future, which would dilute investors.

The accrued interest on the loan has been calculated on the assumption that the convertible will convert on the 29th October 2021.

Investing involves risks, including loss of capital, illiquidity, lack of dividends and dilution, and should be done only as part of a diversified portfolio. Please read the Risk Warnings before investing. Investments should only be made by investors who understand these risks. Tax treatment depends on individual circumstances and is subject to change in future.

This campaign for We Build Bots has been approved by Seedrs Limited (trading as Republic Europe) ("Republic Europe", "us" or "we"), as of 9 September 2021 as a financial promotion. Republic Europe is authorised and regulated by the Financial Conduct Authority with firm reference number 550317. In approving this campaign, Republic Europe has concluded that the information, taken as a whole, is "fair, clear and not misleading." This means that for factual statements we have reviewed evidence of their accuracy, and that for aspirational statements we believe they are phrased appropriately in light of their speculative nature. You should note that in the case of factual statements, the evidence we review is provided by the business, and we do not audit it, which means that we may not be able to identify forged or altered evidence. You should further note that in the case of aspirational statements, the nature of the type of businesses presented on the Republic Europe platform is such that they are likely to have high ambitions, and we may approve statements that convey those ambitions even where we do not believe, or we do not have a view on whether it is likely, that they will be fully realised. The pre-money valuation and investment sought in the campaign are those set by the business: they are not reviewed or established by us, and the valuation is not an independent view of what the business is worth. Given the nature and type of businesses presented on the Republic Europe platform, it is possible that the business has very little cash remaining prior to receiving this investment, and the investment sought may be necessary for the business's on-going existence.

Republic Europe does not make investment recommendations to you. No communications from Republic Europe, through this website or any other medium, should be construed as an investment recommendation. Further, nothing on this website shall be considered an offer to sell, or a solicitation of an offer to buy, any security to any person in any jurisdiction to whom or in which such offer, solicitation or sale is unlawful. Republic Europe does not provide legal, financial or tax advice of any kind. If you have any questions with respect to legal, financial or tax matters relevant to your interactions with Republic Europe, you should consult a professional adviser.

Tax Relief (SEIS)

Valuation (pre-money)

Valuation rounded from £5,563,395

This is the fully-diluted pre-money valuation of the business (i.e. before the new investment comes in and including issued options and other equity interests). In contrast, the post-money valuation is based on inclusion of the new investment in the value.

It is calculated as the pre-money valuation plus the amount of new investment. e.g. If Company A is ascribed a pre-money valuation of £1,200,000 by prospective investors investing £300,000, its post-money valuation is £1,500,000.

The investee business is responsible for setting its own valuation, it has not been prescribed by Seedrs.

Pitch type

Investing in a regular equity campaign is the simplest and most common way to invest in a startup. You decide which business you want to invest in, and if the campaign hits its funding target then you will become one of their shareholders. As the company becomes more valuable, so do your shares; allowing you the opportunity to share in the future success of the business.

Learn more about pitch type on Seedrs

Equity Offered

The equity offered is the percentage of the company’s shares being issued in return for the amount of investment raised.

When the amount raised is less than 100%, the equity offered is based on the target raise. Once the company has raised over 100% it is based on the total raised.

In some scenarios, entrepreneurs may accept additional direct investment after closing their Seedrs campaign. Provided this is within 6 months of the closing and on the same terms, we do not typically offer pre-emption rights on that extra investment (where you have the opportunity to invest again to maintain your percentage shareholding).

Learn more about investing and pre-emption rights.

Nominee investment

This shows if you are able to choose, when making an investment, that you be represented by, and your shareholding be managed by, the Nominee investment.

Custodian

If you invest in this Campaign, Seedrs will act as Custodian rather than provide our standard nominee service. This is due to the fact that the business is not directly involved in the share sale and Seedrs will not benefit from any rights under a shareholder agreement. As a result, Seedrs will handle administrative tasks as we do normally, but you will not have information or voting rights, updates from the business, preemption on future fundraising, or ongoing support about business trading activity.

Secondary market

This shows if the business has opted-in or opted-out of allowing its shares to be bought and sold on the secondary market.

Direct investment

This is an option to invest and hold shares 'directly' in the company (rather than via the Nominee investment). This option is only available to those investing over the threshold amount, which is determined by the fundraising company.

If you choose to hold your shares directly, you will be responsible for any contractual or administrative arrangements with the company you are investing in.

Payment options

We are not able to accept card payments for investments into this sector. You can pay for your investment by creating a bank transfer, using funds in your investment account or create a Pay by Bank payment. Your investment will only be completed once the funds have reached our account.

Business Involvement

This Campaign offers shares for sale in business that is not directly involved in this Campaign or the sale. As a result, the Campaign and post-investment experience, including investor rights, will differ from a business-led campaign on Seedrs. Most notably, the business will not engage with investors in the discussion forums both during and after the sale or provide any updates to investors.
