The round was led by Initialized Capital to support expansion of the company product and engineering teams.
"We’re really excited to be partnering with Stacker. There’s a lot of buzz in the no-code space right now, but very few of these products are actually used in real businesses.What’s so compelling about Stacker is that they’ve worked out how to let people with no technical experience actually create software that helps them in their work."
The seed round was led by Episode1 with backing from Seedcamp, Cambridge Enterprise, and January Ventures to fund DNA testing kits and platform development.
"We urgently need more people contributing to medical science, but the gap between those wanting to take part and actually knowing how to is huge. The scientific community has long relied on time-starved doctors signposting patients to clinical trials which just isn’t an effective way to get decent levels of participation. The pandemic has added further challenges, as many patients with rare and chronic diseases are unable to safely leave home."
Force Over Mass led the seed round for the privacy-first advertising platform.
"Our vision for Glimpse Protocol is to set new standards for privacy in advertising, becoming the kitemark that consumers can trust. This investment enables us to roll out our technology that delivers valuable, effective advertising while respecting consumer privacy. With consumers, regulators and tech giants taking action on data privacy, the digital advertising industry is seeking a solution that can weather technical changes and increasingly stringent privacy requirements. Unlike our competitors, who offer partial stopgaps, Glimpse Protocol provides a uniquely clear vision of how the problem can and must be tackled."
