Balderton Capital led the pre-seed round, which will fund the development of continual learning models for Proxy assistants.
"Imagine an agent that keeps growing and learning whenever you teach them something new. Over time, the agent will take on mundane tasks allowing you to focus on higher-level tasks that are more impactful and also more enjoyable. The key to our approach is the ability for Proxy to learn and memorise tasks on the job, remembering them for the long term and being able to use its memories to extrapolate to new tasks – just as a person would. Our mission at Convergence is to build new, foundationally different technologies that are a clear pathway to useful intelligence. Balderton shares our vision deeply and we are looking forward to turning it into a reality with them."
The seed round was led by SpeedInvest with participation from Seedcamp and Anthemis Female Innovators Lab Fund.
"We’re fundamentally reshaping how work gets done, starting with real estate but certainly not ending there. Ellie isn’t your standard digital assistant – she’s a game-changer that amplifies human capabilities. We’re empowering professionals to break through old limits by uniting previously siloed data and generating deeper insights. We’re creating unprecedented business value across the real estate value chain and beyond."
The seed round was led by Lightspeed Faction with participation from Blockchain Coinvestors and Chris Adelsbach.
"Everything we do at LO:TECH is built on top of great trading infrastructure. This investment from Faction – a team known for backing disruptive, entrepreneurial teams – is validation of our vision and will allow us to push forward building innovative trading technology and services."
The seed round was led by AlbionVC and will support international expansion alongside new product features.
"Rory, Nick, and Andrew have built one of the most exciting B2B platforms we have seen recently. Trumpet is elegantly designed and extremely easy to use and it’s already proving its effectiveness with global teams. There is so much potential for Pods to not only own the conversations between buyers and sellers but also other areas of B2B communications and I’m looking forward to working with the team as they expand and grow."
