"Cryogenx’s technology solves a growing global need for a rapid, emergency response for heat illness. What is really impressive about the device is how well designed and thought through it is, being easily transported and operated by a single person, with no pre-preparation or specialist storage required. We look forward to working with Matt and the Cryogenx team as they bring this vital technology to market."
The pre-seed round was supported by Ventures Together, Ada Ventures, Chasing Rainbows, and Little Green Bamboo Capital.
"Shame lives in silence and so does the lack of innovation. My mission is to empower people to have the sexual lives they want with the best long-term outcomes for their health. Because of stigma, anal health and pleasure have not benefited from the cutting-edge innovation available in the 21st century and there are still millions of people whose sexual experiences have been marginalised and who must use DIY solutions. Polari aims to change that."
The online ski tour operator has raised £5.6m from Mercia Ventures and Active Partners to support platform development and team growth.
"The launch of Heidi was borne out of our own frustrations as keen skiers who wanted to get away to the slopes but at a time and date to suit our own schedules. Having launched the company with limited investment and built it to its current size, we are now all set to take it to the next level. Our aim is to more than double in size in the next few years and become one of the top two ski travel operators."
