The round was co-led by IQ Capital and Plural to support team expansion and pilot manufacturing.

"The promise of lithium-sulfur batteries has been envisaged for decades but until now it has not been possible to realise this potential because of the inherent chemistry challenges of working with sulfur. By utilising MoS2 we have achieved a groundbreaking milestone in battery technology innovation and are on track to bring this new battery chemistry to the market, creating batteries that will end range anxiety. We have an unrivalled founding team, which between us has years of commercial and research experience, along with insightful advisers and world-leading investors. Now we have the right backing to go forward and disrupt the industry for the better."

Tewke closed an oversubscribed seed round to accelerate the development and market rollout of its home energy optimisation platform.

"There have been small movements towards adopting more energy efficient systems, and smart-home technologies, but there has always been a lack of a fully integrated system that can autonomously automate energy savings, and Tewke is changing that. Often energy savings are associated with some kind of compromise, but at Tewke we are building a platform that will elevate people’s homes, making them more environmentally friendly, intuitive and secure."
— Piers Daniell, CEO
