Recent investments

Pre-Seed
$2.5M

Balderton Capital led the pre-seed round, with participation from angel investors including Cleo founder Barney Hussey-Yeo.

"Our long-term research goal is to build self-improving investment agents. As an agent supports a mandate over months and years, it should learn which approaches continue to hold up, identify promising new signals and recognise when an apparent edge has decayed. Within the parameters set by each investment team, these agents could become a powerful tool for continuous discovery,"
— Aditya Jha, Co-founder
Series A
$15.0M

The funding round was led by Gresham House Ventures with backing from Balderton Capital, Eka Ventures, and Wavemaker360.

"The biggest bottleneck in healthcare isn't cost; it's access. Specialists are concentrated in a handful of postcodes; patients aren't. 32Co and Aerox have already brought expert dental treatments to areas of the UK where such treatments were inaccessible, proving the concept that specialist care could be democratised if the right technology layer existed underneath it,"
— Sonia Szamocki, Founder and CEO
Pre-Seed
$1.1M

Playfair led the pre-seed round for the London-based conversational commerce startup, with participation from several prominent tech angels.

"WhatsApp is about to become the default commerce channel for businesses. OpenAI wants those conversations to happen in ChatGPT and Google wants them in Search, but customers already spend their time on WhatsApp. We built Wassist so brands can own those conversations themselves,"
— Josh Warwick, Founder and CEO
Other
$26.0M

Vinted Ventures leads the latest round alongside TQ Ventures, Balderton Capital, Earlybird, and Seedcamp to scale operations.

"The next generation won’t browse static listings the way their parents did—they’ll discover and buy through video, conversation, and live interaction, across every category"
— Abhi Thanendran, Co-founder
