"At IVFmicro, we are harnessing years of research into reproductive biology to create a practical, accessible solution that can improve outcomes for patients undergoing fertility treatment. Our goal is to make IVF more effective, more predictable, and ultimately more hopeful for those striving to start a family."

The Norwich-based drug discovery startup emerged from stealth with backing from SynBioVen, Start Codon, UKI2S, Twin Path Ventures, Wren Capital, angels, and Innovate UK.

"We grow greener medicines using a platform that makes the impossible accessible. The drug discovery field desperately needs new chemical space and the vaccine field needs new adjuvants, with supply chains that work for everyone. By combining AI with plant engineering, we can reach molecules others cannot, and scale them in a way that supports global health, not just high-income markets."

Surface Ventures led the pre-seed round to support product development and team expansion.

"The assumption that bigger is always better needs to go. Specialized SLMs routinely outperform frontier models at role-specific tasks—with greater efficiency and reliability. We’re building the infrastructure and developer tooling to bring those benefits to the enterprise."

The pre-seed round was led by Outward VC and will support team expansion and international growth.

"Strategic procurement is one of the last frontiers for true automation because so much of it remains powered by intuition. Throughout my previous roles, I saw just how much instinct drives results, but also how much time is wasted and how much value is being left on the table because instinct alone can only go so far. Our goal at Monq isn’t to replace that judgment but to amplify it. By empowering procurement teams with strong, actionable, data-driven and intelligent insights, we’re giving enterprises the speed, clarity and confidence to negotiate at an entirely new scale while unlocking billions in hidden deal flow, value and efficiency before that value is lost to the company."
— Yasin Bostancı, Co-founder and CEO
