"There are some 20,000 speech therapists in the UK with 5,000 in private practice and 15,000 in the NHS, many of whom are keen to take on part-time private work.

The pre-seed round was led by Bijan Morvaridi to support product development and regulatory engagement.

"Machines break down on average 600 hours every year, and the current manual processes to get them operational again are inefficient and time-consuming. Each machine can have between 50 to 200 documents attached, and with dealerships handling up to 1,000 machines annually, pinpointing issues can be a daunting task. Our platform ingests all manuals, enabling us to access the right documents and provide solutions in seconds rather than days. This significantly reduces downtime and recovers lost revenue."
The pre-seed round was led by Nikolaus Oldendorff to support the launch of the company developer kit and prepare for consumer release.
"We’ve created a more portable, sleeker, and lighter alternative to current walking-related VR tech, and we’ve done it by thinking in the opposite direction. We focused on people’s feet and natural motion as opposed to trying to manufacture a special platform for them to walk on. This funding round is going to accelerate the launch, and with a consumer version set to follow the developer version, it’s going to be an enormous year for Freeaim. This kind of wearable tech is going to start getting a lot more attention."
