Murray identified the three different businesses he wanted to back, investing undisclosed amounts into each. The investments include Beeline, a smart navigation device and mobile app for bicycles, allowing cyclists to navigate by informing them of the direction and distance to their destination. Dog Tracker Nano is a live tracking device with geofencing and alerts to keep your dog safe with inbuilt tech to monitor activity, fitness and location. Lastly, blow LTD., London's leading "beauty on demand" service, delivering blow dries, makeup and nails to your door.
