"We recognised a clear market need for AI systems that truly understand the structure and logic of patents and can support professionals across every step of the process.

The investment was led by 20VC with participation from prominent angel and strategic investors.
"We’ve tried hundreds of tools, very few actually work. Fyxer AI is different. Our team loves it, and more importantly, it gives us an edge. We can now respond faster than our competition, and in Real Estate, the fastest to respond wins. It’s that simple."
The Series A round was led by 20VC and Chalfen Ventures to accelerate product development in clean energy markets.
"Energy and commodities account for around $5trillion worth of world trade, and price benchmarks are used in the majority of those contracts. Historically, these benchmarks have been created manually by journalists in traditional media organisations. The industry has found this inconsistent and expensive – often being forced to pay tens of millions of dollars for this data. This is exactly what GX is hereto disrupt! We’re bringing technology to produce better benchmarks, that objectively price the world’s trade. We are excited to work with 20VC alongside Chalfen Ventures to accelerate our expansion into the energy transition as these markets mature into tradable commodities."
Current investors including GV, Lightspeed Venture Partners, and 20VC backed the round.
"We have been growing extremely quickly over the past year as thousands of people and businesses each day jump into electric vehicles desperate for an easy, simple way to charge up."
Giant Ventures led the seed financing round to help build a comprehensive electric vehicle ecosystem in Europe.
"Papaya is on a mission to electrify Europe's fleets. We are committed to empowering the electrification ecosystem by removing any barriers and connecting service providers and fleets in one single system, where anyone can plug in; creating market efficiencies instead of just company efficiencies."
