SFC Capital led the pre-seed round for the maternal health artificial intelligence platform.
"SFC Capital was delighted to lead this investment round in Matresa. We made this investment given the talent and strength of Mari-Carmen and the growing problem that the company is solving. She has demonstrated to us tenacity and determination in all our interactions, all of which suggest to us that she is 100% committed to improving maternal health for women everywhere."
The seed round was led by MMC Ventures with participation from Episode 1 Ventures and Seedcamp to fund team expansion and product development.
"The pharmaceutical industry has made tremendous strides in AI for hit identification and lead optimisation, but target safety assessment has lagged behind. Sable is positioned to change that by making comprehensive safety data accessible and actionable. We’re thrilled that with this funding, we can build the definitive platform for drug target safety."
The seed round was led by Augmentum to fund the launch of the Lateral Health Plan.
"We’re on a mission to empower over 60s to live well for longer, helping them navigate the complicated world of retirement by offering them an affordable range of products expertly created just for them."
The funding round was led by Boost Capital Partners and will support UK expansion and proprietary coaching protocols.
"Right now, the trade-off is access versus quality. Unmoderated AI can scale access but can miss context, and when it’s wrong the cost can be high. Clinicians offer quality, but they can’t see everyone at once. We’re building the future where doctors, AI tools, and a unified data layer work together to reach more people with safer, higher-quality guidance."
