"Music isn’t just a luxury, it’s an essential part of life. Whether for sleep, mental wellbeing, exercise, or a much-needed adrenalin rush, music is there to soundtrack our lives. LifeScore wants to bring the composer into the action, using Augmented Intelligence to surprise and delight, rendering music reactive and dynamic in real-time. We are thrilled to have found such supportive partners in this investment round, and believe that this will enable us to bring an entirely new music platform to fruition whilst creating many opportunities for musicians."
Praetura Ventures backed the Manchester retail technology start-up in a round earmarked for team expansion.
"As a team of former retailers, we’ve seen first-hand how the retail industry is advancing in many areas but falling behind when it comes to making data-driven decisions. We know how much potential there is for AI and machine learning to improve profits and reduce waste in retail, and we are thrilled to have Prateura join us on our mission to modernise merchandising and put data behind the important pricing and inventory decisions our users make every day."
The seed round was led by Join Capital with participation from Forward Partners and angel investors.
"Silico is on a mission to transform the way enterprises make decisions and I am delighted that Join Capital are joining us on this journey, alongside Forward Partners and our angel investors. They are already unlocking immense value in the business by providing us with access to key markets in mainland Europe and introducing us to new corporate customers. We have been privileged to have spent time getting to know the team at Join Capital; our values are fully aligned and we could not think of a better partner to work with as we embark on our next stage of growth."
The pre-seed round was led by Sparkmind and will fund platform development and European expansion.
"At Vygo, we believe that every human deserves a world-class education and that social experience is at the core of impactful learning. The Vygo platform gives every learner a social education community filled with their peers, mentors, tutors, advisors and other supporters. With Vygo, education institutions are able to reinvent their social support ecosystem online and ultimately improve their student outcomes whilst scaling their impact.
