Funding Announcements

"Ten years ago, I began combining financial modeling expertise with computational biology to create a drug discovery platform. Evolution has spent billions of years perfecting natural defense mechanisms, and now we’re using AI to unlock this wisdom. This isn’t just professional for me; my father died from a drug-resistant infection our healthcare system couldn’t treat. At Queen’s, I built AMPLY to tackle deadly diseases differently, creating technology that will save lives when current treatments fail."

"We’re incredibly excited to back the team at Etiq as they build a foundational layer for responsible and scalable AI. With the surge in AI agent usage and machine learning-driven applications, there’s an urgent need for robust tools that help developers monitor, debug, and improve model behavior in real time. Etiq’s technology does exactly that—empowering teams to surface hidden biases, identify edge cases, and continuously improve ML performance. The founders bring a rare combination of technical depth and product vision, and we have strong conviction in their vision to become a category-defining company in the AI tooling space."

"Astrato is the execution layer of the modern data stack. It connects directly to the cloud and gives teams a unified space to explore, act, and collaborate on data without duplication, IT bottlenecks, or licensing friction. Unlike legacy BI vendors pushing continuous price hikes, our usage-based model means customers only pay for what they consume, making Astrato accessible for both lean startups and global enterprises."

"Sprive is set to have a huge positive impact on our customer’s finances, as our average user is already on track to slash three years off their mortgage term, collectively saving our users more than £100 million in interest alone. We’re proud to offer the fastest way to financial freedom for the homeowner and we’re determined to help as many as possible achieve it."

"The fine wine investment space has historically been split between wine merchants that are set up to facilitate drinking and collecting rather than investing, and bespoke investment businesses that often operate like merchants with added management fees. We created WineFi to serve investors who view wine primarily through an investment lens, offering them diversified, cost-efficient exposure to a fascinating asset class that has historically remained off-limits to all but specialists. While many of our investors are also wine enthusiasts, WineFi seeks to bridge the cap between the two."
