Edge backs Airbeem
Edge Investments has acquired a large minority stake in UK tech firm Airbeem.

The deal follows a flurry of small investments in similar firms from Edge, including video platform Newsflare (December 2016); podcast platform AudioBoom (April 2017); factual TV production company Antidote (June 2017); and TRX, an online deal-making platform for TV rights licensing (October 2017).
