Science Angel Syndicate backed the funding round alongside a broad group of institutional and angel investors.
"I've long been fascinated by how reversing mitochondrial dysfunction could arrest the progression of degenerative diseases, which place great burdens on patients and healthcare systems. This seed financing will enable us to advance MitoRx's first-in-class therapeutic pipeline. We are the first biotech to address dysfunction of sulfide-signalling, a fundamental part of life's energy systems. I'm also delighted to welcome Glyn to the team whose wealth of experience will be a great asset as we accelerate our novel pipeline of small molecule mitochondrial protective therapeutics towards the clinic."
Fuel Ventures led the pre-seed round to help Monspire launch its cashflow management platform to market.
"Most business owners don’t start their own firm with a desire to spend their time running a finance function. As our study found, it actually distracts them from building their business. With Monspire, we want to give business owners the confidence to grow knowing that their finances are taken care of."
Xploration Capital led the seed round, which will fund platform development and international expansion.
"We estimate that the market for commercial flights on private aircrafts is up to 300,000 flights a year or approximately $10 billion in the UK and Europe. Our aim is to cover 4% of this market and provide up to 12,000 commercial flights per year in the UK and Europe in 2023, connecting 150 private jets to the app with the expected turnover of $240 million."
The financing round was led by Pi Labs with participation from Ada Ventures and 1818 Venture Capital.
"Ever since we invited MOONHUB to be a part of Pi Labs’ 2022 Growth Programme, we’ve, quite frankly, been ‘over the moon’ to be a part of its ambitious journey from such an early stage. We see in Dami, Vinh and Hannah the entrepreneurial flair and innovative abilities that will enable MOONHUB to become a global leader in VR training technology."
