The funding round was led by Nesta Impact Investments with co-investment from GC Angels to support national and international growth.
"We’re so pleased to have our new investment partners on board and them acknowledging the potential in all we do at Gaia Learning to help school partners, learners and their families. We have tripled our learners this academic year, grown our team to 12 staff members and seen huge demand from children who are struggling in mainstream education. Now, more than ever, schools need flexible, digital solutions that can scale within budget supporting each neurodivergent child’s needs."
Maven Capital Partners led the equity investment to help fund product enhancements and international expansion.
"CMS has built an impressive platform that can transform many businesses across different industries. Alex and the senior team are all highly driven, experienced individuals with a genuine entrepreneurial focus and we look forward to supporting the business as it enters this exciting next phase of growth."
The pre-seed round was led by YZR Capital to support clinical trials and platform development for eating disorder care.
"The widening gap between the need for care and available resources, along with the lack of personalised treatment options, urgently requires a radical rethink of how eating disorder care is provided. Our goal is to revolutionise care pathways, providing tools that empower clinicians and deliver meaningful results. We aim to keep people out of hospital and enable better long-term recovery while saving costs for the healthcare system. Univa’s platform will augment the overwhelmed clinical workforce by providing evidence-based tools to reach more patients and families, enabling earlier intervention, improved monitoring, and faster recovery."
The seed round was led by Equitane with participation from Morgan Stanley Inclusive Ventures Lab and Silverbacks Holdings.
"This investment enables us to scale to a full proposition and technological ecosystem for creators to share content while also being commissioned for their work on the platform."
