LinkedInThe Plymouth-based startup raised the capital from backers including Lunar Ventures and AlbionVC to increase manufacturing of its C-Star robots.
"We’re making the ocean’s eyes and ears, and we need a lot of them. Seventy per cent of the planet is ocean, and we can barely see any of it in real time. That’s not a sensing problem anymore; the technology works, and it works in the worst conditions on Earth. It’s a manufacturing problem"
The funding round was co-led by BGF and AlbionVC to support commercial deployment of its magnetic charging systems.
"The race everyone's watching is about computer chips — but the real prize is the battery. The battery decides whether the giant computers behind AI can keep running. Whether a drone can stay in the sky. Whether a satellite survives out in space. Every battery faces a physics ceiling, and we move that ceiling,"
The financing round was led by AlbionVC with ongoing backing from Outward and Form Ventures.
"The market demand for Firenze’s solution has exceeded our expectations and as a result our vision has got more and more ambitious. We, therefore, felt now was the right time to take on further capital to accelerate our plans. When seeking a partner to work with for this next phase of growth Jay and Albion stood out."
AlbionVC backed the seed round alongside PROfounders Capital, Ascension, and Emerge to support platform development.
"HR teams are stuck in a cycle of manual admin and legacy tools are failing them. They are forced to choose between clunky ticketing systems that employees hate, or basic chatbots that can’t actually get work done. We built Kinfolk to break this cycle. By shifting from manual coordination to autonomous execution, we let HR teams scale their operations and focus on the strategic work that actually drives company growth. We’re excited to give People teams the operating system they deserve, one that actually performs work instead of just managing it."
AlbionVC leads the Series A round to support European expansion and perpetual hedging solutions.
"The world is in a genuinely volatile state, and we don’t believe we’re heading back into a period of stability anytime soon. Exchange rate volatility has never been higher, and most businesses feel that whether they realise it or not."
