The seed round was led by UKI2S and Longwall Ventures to support cell therapy bioprocessing development.
"We are thrilled to close this initial funding round with help from UKI2S. We are continuing to establish partnerships with Biotech and Pharma, on top of our existing partnerships with the Cell and Gene Therapy Catapult and the Centre for Process Innovation. The funding will be used to further develop our technology, as well as fund trials with our partners."
The funding round was backed by investors including Greenwood Way Capital, Kelvin Capital, and the Scottish Investment Bank.

The Phase II grant from SBRI Healthcare will fund pre-clinical safety and efficacy studies for regenerative cartilage treatments.
"We select projects strategically based on both commercial and scientific considerations and are delighted with the progress of this collaboration with Dr. Wael Kafienah’s laboratory at the University of Bristol. The continued support for our lead musculoskeletal asset from SBRI Healthcare has not only allowed us to reach this phase but will enable us to carry the chondrocyte conversions through to the next stage."
Orthopaedic Research UK provided the pre-seed funding through the newly launched Ronald Furlong Fund.
"We are the first charity supporting start-ups with a focus on musculoskeletal health in the UK. The Ronald Furlong Fund initiative will play an important role in assisting entrepreneurs and innovators to quickly turn ideas into reality, with measurable benefits for the entire healthcare ecosystem. Effective collaboration with HS. was instrumental in identifying Renovos and their exciting technology, and I am delighted to welcome them as ORUK’s first investment."
