Northern Gritstone and Mercuri co-led the pre-seed round to help the Newcastle-based artificial intelligence firm commercialise its technology.
"We’re at a pivotal moment for AI with adoption continuing to accelerate alongside sustainability and cost concerns. Our logic-based AI offers a new solution for those that want and need high-performing AI that is faster, more energy efficient and more explainable than what’s currently available via neural networks. This funding comes at a time when we’re ready to significantly speed up our product development and will enable us to bring our first product to market later this year."
The pre-seed round was led by DSW Ventures with participation from York Angels and international angel investors.
"We’re thrilled to have the backing of DSW Ventures, York Angels, and our wider investor group as we build the go-to platform for hybrid fitness athletes. This investment allows us to accelerate product development, enhance the user experience, and grow our footprint within the Hyrox and wider hybrid fitness communities. As athletes ourselves, we’ve built RoxFit to solve real problems we’ve experienced, and this funding brings us one step closer to helping thousands more to train smarter and race better."
The pre seed round was led by Activant Capital and saw backing from several fintech funds and industry executives.
"This isn’t about replacing the old with the new; it’s about intelligently integrating both. We’re not chasing crypto hype, we’re leveraging stablecoins to remove friction, accelerate settlement, and drive improved performance in real-world financial operations."
The pre-seed round was led by Early Game Ventures to support team growth and platform integrations.
"This round gives us the firepower to move fast, expand our world-class team, and partner with games that want the most fair and safe environment for players to enjoy,"
The oversubscribed round will support the AEC start-up as it rolls out its MVP for real estate investors.
"We are proud to welcome BTC d.d., Avto Krka, and Imari Holdings Ltd, as partners who believe in our bold vision (to become the most efficient platform for real estate investors) and have committed to bring strategic value to LynxCraft far beyond capital."
