The Aberdeen technology startup secured backing from investors including Scottish Enterprise to expand its Proteus software platform.
"We are delighted to today be announcing the successful close of our fundraise."
The pre-seed round was backed by angel investors and Harwood Capital to support product development.
"We envision a hospitality industry where drinks listing deals are fair, open and accessible for everyone."
Visionaries Club led the seed round with backing from Lowercarbon Capital, Breyer Capital, and Zinal Growth.
"Currently, no easy and scalable way exists for companies of any size to understand and remove their emissions. Traditional carbon measurement and offsetting solutions are costly and difficult to implement and so only accessible to a restricted group of larger companies. We started Pledge to enable any company to launch high quality and verified climate products in the easiest and fastest way possible. Our mission is to raise climate awareness and empower businesses to accelerate their net zero transition, becoming a positive contributor to the current crisis."
The Series A round was led by Saras Capital with participation from BACKED, Chalfen Ventures, and Entrepreneur First, and will fund team expansion.
"Automation is already used by many semiconductor manufacturers. However, even in advanced fabs where scheduling itself is automated, the software used to make these decisions tends to be based on predefined rules programmed by humans and determined by historical data.

Mercia backed the seed round to support product development and commercial growth.
"We’re on a mission to help businesses transform their data from an expensive, time-consuming challenge into a powerful goal-achieving asset. In Mercia we have found the perfect partner to expand our product and accelerate the growth for Distil and its customers."
