Concept Ventures led the pre-seed investment round to help scale the London-based team and accelerate product features.
"Mainstream generative image platforms can be really impressive, but they simply aren’t fit for purpose when it comes to a sector like architecture and design. In our industry, detail and precision is everything. Gendo has been designed specifically for these professionals; we’ve built an AI platform that speeds up design work and allows creativity to flourish."
The pre-seed round was led by Bijan Morvaridi to support product development and regulatory engagement.
"Having worked in the restaurant business for years, I know how important personal service is. OpenFi’s technology is the first AI application I’ve experienced that felt human and personal, that’s why I am backing the company."
The pre-seed round was led by Sure Valley Ventures to support international expansion and team growth.
"At Vortex IQ, our mission is to simplify and enhance the e-commerce workflow through innovative AI solutions. By providing e-commerce teams with cutting-edge productivity tools, we help businesses to prioritise their customers, enhance efficiency, and drive profitability."
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 pre-seed round was led by a consortium including Seedcamp, Concept Ventures, RTP Global, C2V, and FJ Labs.
"Machines break down on average 600 hours every year, and the current manual processes to get them operational again are inefficient and time-consuming. Each machine can have between 50 to 200 documents attached, and with dealerships handling up to 1,000 machines annually, pinpointing issues can be a daunting task. Our platform ingests all manuals, enabling us to access the right documents and provide solutions in seconds rather than days. This significantly reduces downtime and recovers lost revenue."
