Playfair Capital led the pre-seed round to fund the launch of the social commerce solution and team expansion.
"The Chinese ecommerce market is an extremely enticing one for Western brands, but the challenges of doing business there are nontrivial. Many brands never get started in China, whilst others receive piecemeal, misaligned and substandard service from a hotchpotch of uncoordinated service providers. Kuai’s tech first, full stack approach, combined with the incredibly deep and rich market experience of the team accumulated over many years, is a compelling proposition for any brand wanting to build a successful long-term business in China. We’re incredibly excited to be working with the team on this journey."
The pre-seed round was led by Science Angel Syndicate and Fink Family Office to develop cold chain-free vaccine technology.
"Our goal are to make the transportation of vaccines and other life-saving biological materials more efficient and cost-effective while also reducing the carbon footprint of this critical supply chain. We are thrilled to have the support of our investors as we work towards this mission."

The pre-seed round was led by Jenson Funding Partners to help expand clinical trial software across UK and Irish hospitals.
"We are delighted in raising investment from Jenson Funding Partners and continuing our incredible journey with their support. AscensionQ was created to tackle the everyday challenges researchers face through automation in one platform, connecting people and not just processes. It has been fantastic working with the research community to create ‘a first of its kind’ research clinic operating system. From well-established research institutions through to newer organisations, the AQ platform has shown to increase clinical trial capacity for hospitals, improve patient recruitment and retention and support the business opportunity that research presents for NHS trusts. Our ‘buy-once, use many’ philosophy has enabled our customers to do more with less. 2022 was great validation of our system and for 2023 we are excited to push on and help the thousands of research clinics in the UK and beyond."

Haatch Ventures led the pre-seed round to help the learning platform scale its international presence and educator network.
"Pre-seed funding is a hugely exciting time for any start-up – it’s the launchpad from which the future can develop. Having the backing of industry heavyweights like Jason Foster gives me even more conviction in our mission to become the go to educator for data literacy amongst business users. Data-led, data-literate organisations are the future of business, and we are proud to be helping them and their employees get there."
