Edinburgh Life Admin App MyLifePA Secures £72k Pre-Seed Funding

Edinburgh based software startup MyLifePA has successfully closed a pre-seed funding round, raising an estimated £72k. The transaction, which was allotted and filed today, 18 March 2026, brings the company to an estimated post-money valuation of £672k. The names of the investors participating in this early stage round have not been disclosed.

Incorporated exactly one year ago on 17 March 2025, MyLifePA is developing a digital platform aimed at simplifying household administration. The company develops an application designed to help individuals, busy families, and carers organise their digital lives in one secure place. Users can track important dates, manage subscriptions, and store essential documents. A primary focus of the platform is helping consumers avoid unnecessary costs associated with forgotten auto-renewals for insurance and other domestic services.

Operating with a single employee, the startup is still in its nascent stages. As is typical for a pre-seed company that has just reached its first anniversary, revenue and profitability metrics are not yet publicly available. This £72k injection represents the first formal equity funding round for the business, providing initial capital to further develop the software and build out its consumer offering.

The investment in MyLifePA highlights ongoing activity within the Scottish technology sector, which has seen significant growth in recent years. However, securing early stage capital remains a distinct challenge for founders in the region. Recent ecosystem data indicates that while Scottish scaleups have raised hundreds of millions through national tech programmes, pre-seed funding has historically lagged behind the rest of the UK.

Furthermore, the £72k raised by MyLifePA is relatively lean compared to broader national averages. Recent industry data places the average UK pre-seed deal size at approximately £580k, reflecting a trend of larger early stage rounds in hubs like London. By raising a smaller, highly targeted round, MyLifePA is taking a capital efficient approach to early product development.

The startup operates at the intersection of consumer software and personal finance management. With the broader UK software as a service market projected to exceed £15bn, there is a clear commercial appetite for tools that reduce administrative friction. MyLifePA will now deploy this fresh capital to refine its application, aiming to capture a segment of the market looking to streamline their domestic responsibilities and take better control of their everyday life admin.
