The breakfast brand raised £250k via Angel Investment Network alongside the broader financing to scale its manufacturing and retail presence.
"Spoon Cereals is a brand with genuine consumer love, award-winning products, and a business that has just gone through a real step-change with the shift to owned manufacturing. Our investors recognised the quality of the team, the proven retail traction, and the signed licensing deals with Myprotein and Wildfarmed as a clear path to scale."
The seed round was facilitated by Angel Investment Network to help accelerate international growth and sector diversification.
"At Vape Guardian, we’re dedicated to creating safer, healthier environments through advanced vape detection technology. Our mission is simple: to help schools, businesses, and public spaces maintain clean air and protect individuals from the risks associated with vaping. This funding from Angel Investment Network is a pivotal step in our 2026 strategy. It supports us to scale our presence in education and also bring our proven technology to the aerospace and workplace markets, where vape-induced fire alarms and health risks are becoming major operational headaches."
The insurtech firm has raised funds to complete its technology stack and expand integration capabilities for retailers.
"Loxa is on a mission to rebuild trust in repair-first insurance and unlock significant value for UK retailers in the expanding product protection market. This fundraise marks a significant step in our journey. The process can be fraught but partnering with the right investors, like those we found through AIN, makes all the difference. We’re excited to use these funds to scale Loxa, execute our ambitious plans, and get this business motoring towards profitability."
The company has raised £750k as part of a wider £3.2m growth round facilitated by Angel Investment Network.
"AIN’s continued support speaks volumes about their confidence in our vision to modernise funeral care with compassion and technology. We’ve been at the forefront of innovation in the sector, enabling individuals to personalise final farewells online or by phone, saving thousands and easing the emotional and administrative burden. This funding will be instrumental in expanding our services and strengthening our commitment to innovative, sustainable end-of-life solutions."
The seed round was supported by Angel Investment Network to fund platform expansion and user growth.
"We are delighted that investors have supported our vision of a global ecosystem of connectivity for clean energy project developers, advisors, investors and lenders. We are now the fastest growing platform for renewable energy projects, helping to bring together international market participants to successfully progress over 3GW of new utility-scale clean energy generation capacity in this past year alone. This reduces transaction friction and means that the market for renewable energy projects can flow faster and more efficiently than ever before."
