The funding from existing backers Aker Horizons and Volnay will support technology development and testing for the Irish renewable tech startup.
"We are thankful for the continued backing from our major investors, Aker Horizons and Volnay. This funding will enable us to further develop our key initiatives: technology development at our Dublin and Blyth facilities, prototype testing and demonstration projects, and bringing this game-changing technology to market, supporting decarbonisation, and energy independence."
The round was led by Accel to support the company in growing its cross-border operations.
"We certainly saw it during COVID. We’ll see it when there’s an earthquake. We’ll see it when there’s geopolitical unrest in the country. More money will flow in because people get concerned about their families, about their communities, and that’s their time of need."
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."
