YFM Equity Partners has backed S4labour with a £4m investment to drive product development and market expansion.
"S4labour has built an impressive business with a clear product-market fit and plan to expand its market. As the hospitality industry continues to digitalise its operations, S4labour is well-positioned to expand its market share and deliver significant value to its clients. With Mark Jensen now on board and an exciting product roadmap, we see a fantastic opportunity to accelerate growth, and we are excited to support the team on this journey."
The pre-seed round was led by Pitchdrive and will support product development and United States expansion.
"Logistics is the backbone of the global economy, yet it still runs on billions of emails, spreadsheets, and phone calls. Our AI agents act as digital teammates, automating repetitive tasks to free up teams for higher-impact work. As margins tighten due to global tariffs, AI provides a crucial advantage by unlocking efficiency and cost savings."
The pre-seed round was backed by venture studio EmergentX and angel investors to support the development of tokenised asset products.
"High-value assets, or 'passion assets,' attract mature investors for their stable growth and benefit as a hedge against market volatility. The problem is that investing in these assets often requires a special relationship and involves lengthy, inefficient processes. Savea’s blockchain-based infrastructure allows investment in an ERC-20 token, backed 100% by physical assets held in reserve, resulting in a highly liquid and scalable alternative to traditional asset ownership."
The insurtech firm has raised funds to complete its technology stack and expand integration capabilities for retailers.
"Loxa is on a mission to rebuild trust in repair-first insurance and unlock significant value for UK retailers in the expanding product protection market. This fundraise marks a significant step in our journey. The process can be fraught but partnering with the right investors, like those we found through AIN, makes all the difference. We’re excited to use these funds to scale Loxa, execute our ambitious plans, and get this business motoring towards profitability."
Dawn Capital led the Series A round to support team expansion and platform development.
"Enterprises creating specific business-critical AI would gladly self-host, if “expertise” and “cost” didn’t sound like double trouble. Doubleword flips the script, making self-hosting effortless and reshaping the market for enterprise customers."
