The funding round included participation from XTX Ventures and Macmillan Cancer Support to accelerate deployment and expand diagnostics.
"Cancer imaging volumes are rising rapidly but reporting capacity is not keeping pace. Our goal is to give clinicians faster, more confident decisions while reducing unnecessary interventions for patients. With our deep focus on prostate cancer and strong clinical validation across NHS pathways, we’re showing how AI can deliver earlier and more accurate diagnoses. In the NHS, few Trusts can confirm or rule out cancer within 28 days, and some patients can wait two months or longer. Lucida Medical is ideally placed to reduce this burden, and this funding will allow us to do that faster."
YFM Equity Partners backed the digital funeral planning provider to support its expansion and marketing efforts.
"Aura is well positioned at a point of structural change in the funeral services market. The team has built a differentiated, digital-first proposition that combines strong regulatory foundations with a high-quality customer experience. Importantly, they are doing so with a clear sense of purpose – helping to modernise and improve an industry that has historically underserved consumers. We were particularly impressed by the strength and ambition of the team, and their vision to build a broader end-of-life planning platform."
The British Business Bank has backed the warehouse robotics provider as part of its recent Series C round.
"The UK consistently produces companies with market-leading technology, which need greater domestic backing to scale globally. The Bank is stepping up to ensure companies like Dexory have the capital they need to innovate and expand here in the UK. We are working with fund managers to create deeper pools of capital and are increasing the scale of our co-investing activity, which directly increases the size of funding rounds for high-potential UK companies."
MiddleGame Ventures led the financing round with participation from Further Ventures and Unusual Ventures.
"Financial markets are ultimately systems of resource allocation. To allocate well, we must first see the economy clearly, not in fragments but as an interconnected whole. Theia exists to map the unmapped, to make visible the structure of the global economy."
