Haatch led the pre-seed round, which includes contributions from the British Business Bank and the East Midlands Combined County Authority.
"As a trusted advisor to financial services boards, I kept seeing the same pattern: teams got excited about the potential of generative AI but then hit a wall when asked about governance and compliance. We founded Vigilant AI.ai because the toolset to answer those questions simply didn’t exist. Our platform enables people in the business to onboard AI Teammates where work happens whilst real-time guardrails and audit logs protect and govern. Customers gain AI productivity at speed, with regulatory compliant trust."
The funding round was led by Mercia Ventures to support the company expansion and product development.
"Law firms are evolving, and technology must evolve with them. Tessaract is built to remove the operational burden — enabling legal teams to work seamlessly across data, finance, and client delivery. With Mercia Ventures’ backing, we’re scaling that capability to more firms across the UK."
The financing round was led by CapHorn with participation from Chevron Technology Ventures and Suffolk Technologies to support international growth and product development.
"The UK has led the way in AI for construction since our inception in 2017. I'm proud to continue that leadership. We've been quietly building a new standard for capital delivery with customers all over the world. This funding allows us to scale that transformation – proving that a UK company can lead globally in one of the most important applications of AI."
The Exeter-based travel technology business has secured equity funding led by The FSE Group.
"Travel to events is often expensive, inefficient, and environmentally damaging. STAXY exists to change that. Our technology gives fans better options and clubs better data. With this new investment, we’ll be able to build on our early momentum, deepen our technology offering, and scale our impact across the events industry."
