The digital health provider has raised a £45m Series B extension and growth capital package led by Big Pi Ventures and HSBC Innovation Banking.
"Our latest funding is a testament to both our commercial performance and belief in our long-term vision for providing personalised, preventative health at scale. With the fresh conviction of Big Pi Ventures, Endeavor Catalyst and HSBC Innovation Banking – as well as the continued backing of White Star Capital and our long-term investors – we are now perfectly positioned to expand our reach, deepen our clinical capabilities, and accelerate innovation to help our patients live happier, healthier, longer lives."
The pre-seed round was led by Haatch and British Business Investments to support commercial growth.
"Hospitality’s AI transformation must be led from within the industry. Too often, hotels have struggled to adopt new technologies because they were developed without real operational insight. We’re incredibly excited about this new era, where the hospitality sector can not only embrace technology earlier than ever before, but also lead the way for the wider real estate and service industries. AI can improve guest experiences and create better working environments for hotel teams. That’s the future we’re building toward, and this round gives us the support to move faster and go further."
The funding round was backed by Praetura Ventures through the Northern Powerhouse Investment Fund II.
"This partnership represents more than capital. Praetura brings deep strategic expertise, a strong network, and a shared belief in our mission – to save lives and improve safety through intelligent communication. Their investment is a powerful endorsement of the scale of what the whole team at Audiebant have built, and the global opportunity that lies ahead. With installations now underway in both Europe and North America, and a distributor network spanning dozens of countries, this is a pivotal time for Audiebant. The backing from Praetura will allow us to continue building momentum at speed and scale."
The seed round was co-led by Contrarian Ventures and Anthemis to support international expansion and product development.
"The market was not going in the right direction. We noticed this personally when charging our car and visiting one charging station: depending on the payment method, you end up paying 50 different prices. That realisation came through a personal issue we experienced. In general, EV charging was inaccessible, complicated, and not user-friendly or user-centric — that’s why we created Cariqa."
