The financing will support the advancement of proprietary in vivo reprogramming therapies through pre-clinical translation.
"We are delighted to receive the continued support of Astellas Venture Management, Parkwalk Advisors and other existing investors as we relentlessly focus on progressing our novel pipeline of in vivo reprogramming therapies through pre-clinical translation. Aligned to a consolidated corporate structure and vision, this latest funding will provide sufficient cash runway to enable the achievement of key development milestones in both our internal programs as well as those being developed in collaboration with strategic partners. Existing investor commitment is a testament to our delivery of world-class science, expertise in cellular reprogramming and the unique potential of the MOGRIFY platform to deliver novel regenerative medicines to improve the lives of a broad spectrum of patients."
The financing round was led by Index Ventures with backing from Bessemer Venture Partners and Visionaries Club.
"Apron puts itself in the position of all these users – accountants, business owners and suppliers – and instead of trying to solve business payments from just one perspective, we create a town square where they can all come together to move money as smoothly as possible. We want to flip payments from being a blocker to being a booster: something that can be done quickly, securely and even give you a sense of joy and satisfaction."
Silverstripe led the Series A round with participation from Frontline Ventures, Guillaume Pousaz, and Brad Bao.
"We are thrilled to welcome Silverstripe to the Shackle story. It has been great to build a really strong relationship with the team, and their experience and track record in the finance and tech sector will supercharge our mission to revolutionise the hotel industry."
Singular led the Series A investment alongside existing backers Credo, Playfair, and Techstart Ventures to fund team expansion and international growth.
"If we are going to deliver the energy transition required in time to meet global climate goals, we need to completely rethink worldwide energy infrastructure – transforming what we have, but also building considerably more, and doing so at an unprecedented pace. The best way to do that is to work smarter, not harder – as highlighted by the UK Electricity Networks Commissioner, automated infrastructure planning processes, such as those that we provide, have a big part to play. But the impact of technology needn’t be limited to the planning stage – we’re excited to bring its transformative power to developers throughout the development process as we continue to grow with this new funding."
