The pre seed round was led by Activant Capital and saw backing from several fintech funds and industry executives.
"This isn’t about replacing the old with the new; it’s about intelligently integrating both. We’re not chasing crypto hype, we’re leveraging stablecoins to remove friction, accelerate settlement, and drive improved performance in real-world financial operations."
The seed round was led by Stride.VC with participation from Repeat.vc to scale the company's industrial AI platform.
"There is a comforting fiction that we can simply swap out the old for the new. But the scale of the transition is immense. The infrastructure of heavy industry cannot be erased — it must be transformed. That’s why we built Orbital. Without the energy industry, life as we know it is impossible. Refiners and petrochemical firms are the lifeblood of civilisations, yet their existence is frozen in time as many of the facilities that power our world are nearly 50 years old. As energy and chemical demand rises steeply at a global level, it is crucial that these essential industries transform themselves. Artificial intelligence can deliver significant financial and environmental improvements to benefit everyone on the planet."
The funding combines angel capital and an Innovate UK grant to support product development and sales expansion.
"We’re solving a workflow problem that affects the entire care ecosystem. Care teams are spending hours on manual documentation and communication tasks. Our platform automates these processes whilst creating the transparency that families want."
The seed round was led by Index Ventures with participation from multiple venture firms and angel investors.
"Our platform dramatically streamlines this process and mountains of documents which slow down research today. But improving efficiency is only the beginning, building AI into the invention process, along with the inventors allows inventors to fundamentally expand the horizons of what we can imagine creating. We believe Ankar is creating the foundation for the next generation of breakthrough technologies."
