The seed round was co-led by Fly Ventures and firstminute capital with participation from prominent angel investors.
"Current AI systems are great at generating code to complement a codebase, but they can’t reason about software as a complete system. Reasoning requires understanding and modelling the environment to ensure language models work reliably. We’re building something fundamentally different – an AI that understands not just how to write code, but how to turn the description of a user’s intent into reliable, production-ready solutions. Beyond the deep tech element to building such a system, we’re also reimagining how the right product experience should look like. In the private beta of our product CodeWords, we noticed how the users’ main role was shifting to more of a project manager or product owner."
Speedinvest led the equity portion of the financing alongside grant backing from Innovate UK.
"Critical to XR’s mass adoption is enabling users to interact with virtual images for as long as they like, without feeling nauseous, and to seamlessly shift focus between physical and virtual environments. Our technology, compatible with LCD, OLED, or any type of display, makes that possible. By projecting a digital image onto a user’s retina, keeps the image in focus regardless of how the eyes adjust to the surrounding world, completely eliminating any discomfort. After more than a decade of research, we’re now ready to take our technology to market, unleashing possibilities across automotive, medical, engineering industries, and more."
The Newcastle based healthcare startup has raised £600k from regional investors to pilot its predictive software in Welsh hospitals.
"During my career as an orthopaedic surgeon, I’ve identified an opportunity for the pathway from patient referral to surgery to be improved through technology. With the length of waiting lists having only increased, the need to take advantage of this technology is as acute as ever."
The funding round was led by SFC Capital with additional support from Innovate UK.
"We’re excited to have led the investment into Reneural and to support the team on their journey to improve rehabilitation for stroke survivors. What really impressed us was their passion for tackling this problem, and we’re looking forward to seeing their impact on patient outcomes through their new VR products and mental health support."
The investment was led by Praetura Ventures to support regional team growth and cybersecurity research.
"Unfortunately for many businesses, the complexity and volume of cyber events is increasing every day. More effective use of Automation and AI is fundamental to enabling better detection, protection, response and resolution outcomes, but equally as threats continually evolve so to must our capabilities. Response time is critical to mitigating the impact of cyber events in any business, as well as improving business resilience. CloudGuard are striving to provide more cost-effective, more responsive resolution-based services for all businesses with leading security solutions from Microsoft and other partners. Manchester is our home. It’s such an amazing City, rapidly becoming one of the UK’s leading cyber hubs.
