Google.org backs the learning platform to scale its Government AI Campus and train one million public servants.
"The AI Campus has taught me that I have a healthy balance of being excited but mindful and cautious about AI and its potential harms. It has made me think of ethical issues; AI is not just a technological innovation but it is about the people, services, and data that sits behind it."
The investment was led by the Scottish National Investment Bank with backing from Archangel Investors and Par Equity.
"We are excited by the growth and impact potential of iGii, and we are pleased to be invested in the company's future, which includes scaling its products for a global market and bringing more skilled jobs to Stirling."
— Alastair McMillen, Associate Director – Sustainable Places
The seafood restaurant group has raised capital, including a £1.3m investment from The FSE Group, to open new sites and expand its retail offerings.
"This investment is a testament to the strength and potential of Rockfish. We are excited to embark on this next chapter of growth, driven by our passion for seafood and our commitment to sustainability and excellence. We are grateful for the support from the South West Investment Fund and The FSE Group and look forward to bringing our unique seafood experience to even more people."
The pre-seed round was led by Nikolaus Oldendorff to support the launch of the company developer kit and prepare for consumer release.
"We’ve created a more portable, sleeker, and lighter alternative to current walking-related VR tech, and we’ve done it by thinking in the opposite direction. We focused on people’s feet and natural motion as opposed to trying to manufacture a special platform for them to walk on. This funding round is going to accelerate the launch, and with a consumer version set to follow the developer version, it’s going to be an enormous year for Freeaim. This kind of wearable tech is going to start getting a lot more attention."
The Series B round was led by Highland Europe and AVP to fund commercial expansion.
"This funding round and support from top-tier investors will help us deliver our enhanced go-to-market strategies. By significantly investing in go-to-market initiatives across our key segments, we can help even more global investment management, banking, and capital markets firms access and utilise a trusted and consolidated view of their financial data across the front, middle and back office."
