|content=UK-based tech company JECO has successfully secured $1.3 million in pre-seed growth funding, marking a significant step in its mission to revolutionize the development industry with eco-conscious technology. The investment round was led by the government-backed British Business Bank alongside the investment collective The Games Angels.

The announcement, made on July 30, was welcomed by Mark Barry, Senior Investment Director at the British Business Bank, who expressed his excitement about the co-investment. “We are delighted with the co-investment, which aligns with our programme goals to strengthen the UK’s regional economy and leverage investment potential into innovating entrepreneurs in key sectors,” Barry said.

==== A New Era for Developers ====
JECO was founded by Emily Bailey, co-founder of Antler Studios and inaugural member of the UK Video Games Council, along with Simon Barratt, co-founder of Four Door Lemon and current CEO/co-founder of Cooperative Innovations. The company introduces an "industry-first" B2B toolkit designed to help developers optimize their software while reducing production costs, timelines, and environmental impact.

“JECO was born out of the belief that if developers are given frictionless ways to improve and enhance their development processes, they can find quicker, cost-effective routes to market, and can also start to play an important role in addressing wider environmental issues that may impact our industry in the future," said Bailey. “I am incredibly grateful to all our investors for supporting us in our mission; to support developers in making positive behavioural changes through the power of technology.”

==== Funding Allocation and Future Plans ====
A significant portion of the newly secured funds will be allocated to marketing and strategy development, but the bulk of the capital will go towards the creation of JECO’s flagship product: an energy dashboard monitoring app. This innovative tool is designed to automatically track the running costs, hardware specifications, and carbon data of developers' systems. The app, which aims to help developers reduce their environmental footprint, is expected to launch in Q4 2025.
