CMC Markets acquired a 33 percent stake in StrikeX Technologies and appointed two executives to the board.
"Our partnership with CMC Markets will bolster our position as early frontrunners in this dynamic and fast-moving industry, whilst validating our long-term vision and strategy. We strive to pioneer the delivery of traditional financial instruments, such as equities, commodities and bonds to the blockchain, whilst guaranteeing security, compliance, and ease of access via intuitive, secure, and user-friendly products. We are excited by the opportunity this partnership brings and we look forward to sharing more updates as we continue to grow and innovate."
Northstar Ventures and Par Equity co-led the investment round to support international expansion and US regulatory clearance.
"I’d like to thank Manus’ existing investors for supporting the Company’s commercialisation programme of our unique NeuroMotor PenTM , building on previous support we received in 2021. This year is set to be an exciting one, with partnerships already secured, and we truly believe our non-invasive and CE-marked product can have a huge impact on patients and tackle the unmet need for a quick, inexpensive device that can detect neurological conditions, particularly given the ageing global population."
The investment was provided by VeUP from its growth fund to support international expansion and product development.
"These are incredibly exciting times for Pasabi, and this investment will allow us to turbocharge our offering, expanding our reach in the fast-growing trust and safety software market at a time when fraud attacks and fake reviews are wreaking havoc online. In the era of Generative AI, people will no longer be able to rely on the authenticity of the content they consume. Only solutions like Pasabi’s, that focus on behaviours over content to detect bad actors, will allow platforms to provide safe environments for their users."
Valar Ventures led the seed round with participation from Passion Capital and Leo Capital.
"For businesses on the high street, every penny counts. Businesses need fairer solutions that improve cash flow and keep prices down for their customers. Open banking payments with Atoa could make a significant impact to their bottom line."
Jenson Funding Partners led the pre-Seed round, which will fund platform expansion and uniform exchange initiatives.
"We want our kids to be in control of their fashion, but also environmentally conscious in their choices. This is why we’ve created Swoperz. Swoperz gives children safe access to a huge range of age appropriate, preloved clothing so they can showcase their style every day. Parents can also feel safe in the knowledge that the platform is fully verified and controlled by them. Our platform can help parents budget better with ever-changing clothing requests from children, get kids excited about saving the planet, and instil a sense of responsibility and empowerment through our token system. We want to help children build positive, sustainable consumption habits whilst growing the circular economy and never compromising on their individuality."
