The oversubscribed round was backed by Ascension alongside a syndicate of parcel delivery executives and industry experts.
"The era of scaling a parcel delivery operation by throwing people at the problem is over. Manual labour is a tax on every parcel you ship. We are building the autonomous workforce for the future of parcel delivery, where networks run on intelligence, not headcount. This funding from leaders who have lived this pain is the ultimate confirmation of the industry’s urgent need for this change."
Haatch led the pre-seed round with participation from Cape Capital and angel investors to help scale operations.
"There’s no path to net zero without rapidly scaling clean energy – but today, developers are building blind. They’re making multi-million pound decisions without clear data on where they can connect to the grid. Yottar exists to change that – giving them the visibility to act faster and avoid costly mistakes."
The pre-seed round was led by Bobby Previti with participation from senior executives across global financial and logistics firms.

It can instantly plan and book complete personalised itineraries, including synchronised flights, premium stays, and curated experiences for individuals or groups."
Investing Women Angels backed the pre-seed round to support product development and market entry.

We’ve been intentional about finding investors who share our purpose, believe in our vision, and genuinely care about improving access to veterinary care. We’re proud to have an incredible group of individuals behind us. People who understand the change we’re working towards and are with us every step of the way."
Haatch led the pre-seed round for the artificial intelligence native insurance broker to expand its engineering and data teams.
"After nearly 20 years in the industry, I’ve seen just how little has changed. Insurance is still too reliant on paperwork, underinsurance is far too common, and fees are often higher than they should be. We built Meshed to change that, to bring costs down for SMEs, give them the right protection and make the whole process faster, simpler, and more transparent."
