The Cardiff-based agricultural technology company secured funding to scale international operations and advance its autonomous software ecosystem.
"Bringing GreenFingers to market simply wouldn’t have been possible at this pace without Foresight’s backing. Their investment has enabled us to turn an ambitious concept into meaningful value for growers. GreenFingerscreates a truly autonomous self-optimising lighting ecosystem, using advanced algorithms to determine the optimal supplementary intensity and spectrum. It automatically adjusts LED fixtures in real time to maintain a consistent DLI under a balanced cultivation environment."
The financing values the former Octopus Energy subsidiary at $8.7bn and marks its official separation as a standalone technology provider.
"Kraken is in a class of its own, in terms of technology, capability, and scale. As an independent company with world-class backers and outstanding leadership, it will be free to grow even faster and is set to be a true UK-founded success story."
The minority backing from LDC will support international expansion and product development.
"I founded myHappymind with a clear vision: to make positive mental wellbeing education part of everyday school life. Our team has since created programmes that are transforming outcomes for children and families, showing that prevention in schools is both possible and powerful."
The funding round was backed by EWOR and other investors to support extended reality developments.
"Earlier versions struggled with fast, complex motion, either requiring an excessive number of Gaussians or producing visible artifacts. Our latest release finally solves this: even footage captured at 50fps can now be played back in ultra-smooth slow motion with minimal artifacts, while preserving fine details. This makes 4DGS viable for high-demand use cases like sports and film."
The London-based enterprise software developer has raised funding to scale its agentic artificial intelligence capabilities.
"Ageiro is built for creators, founders, software engineers and enterprises that can no longer afford the cost, friction and slow pace of the conventional software development lifecycle. "Humanity’s last app" represents a fundamental shift in how we view software development. It is one platform that can build and evolve the applications an enterprise needs in days rather than months, while humans retain governance, transparency and control. This is enterprise autonomy with enterprise discipline."
