Balderton Capital

"CRM is one of the most important categories in B2B, but it’s been stuck in the past. AI-native CRM needs a completely different foundation — one that allows you to truly understand every customer, take action fast, and gives you the freedom to build the exact go-to-market systems you need at scale. That’s what we’re building with Attio, and this funding will allow us to accelerate our vision."

"Successive cost of living crises show that our energy system is no longer fit for purpose. Affordable energy isn’t a luxury, it’s fundamental to a decent standard of living and a productive economy. At Fuse, we’re building the technology needed to realise that future"

"Imagine an agent that keeps growing and learning whenever you teach them something new. Over time, the agent will take on mundane tasks allowing you to focus on higher-level tasks that are more impactful and also more enjoyable. The key to our approach is the ability for Proxy to learn and memorise tasks on the job, remembering them for the long term and being able to use its memories to extrapolate to new tasks – just as a person would. Our mission at Convergence is to build new, foundationally different technologies that are a clear pathway to useful intelligence. Balderton shares our vision deeply and we are looking forward to turning it into a reality with them."

"At SAVA we are tackling preventable illness by building a new operating system for health monitoring. Our microsensor will revolutionise healthcare by making world-leading monitoring technology available to all. With this capital, we can accelerate our goal of creating a new paradigm for healthcare – preventative, personalised and painless."

"Road transport is the backbone of European commerce and there’s no reason why it should be run on decades-old software. We’re proud that we can offer a secure cloud-based solution, with AI-based automation in an affordable subscription model that has helped our customers drive efficiencies in their business. Qargo is processing tens of millions in revenue and has become a true partner to the transport companies which are the backbone of many sectors. We’re delighted to partner with Balderton to power our growth and look forward to taking Qargo to the next level."

"I am very impressed by the quality and efficiency of 32Co’s service. From the expert treatment planning by a specialist orthodontist, to the timely delivery of the aligners, they have exceeded my expectations…The product itself is outstanding compared to other aligner companies in the market. The treatment plans are so precise that our patients rarely need revisions. I’ve been recommending 32Co to all my dentist colleagues and consultancy clients. They all agree that this is the future of clear aligner orthodontics."

"For too long, the importance of cash has been overlooked by many operating businesses and investors alike. As rates have begun to rise across the globe and crises have once again started to permeate the banking sector, companies of all sizes have woken up to the benefits of diversification, security and attractive risk-adjusted returns. We have been growing the business rapidly for the last 5 years and are very well-placed to capitalise on current market dynamics. We’re delighted that Balderton is leading our Series B round – they understand our world deeply and have all of the experience necessary to support us on our journey to becoming a global leader in institutional cash investment."

"The vast majority of Gen Zers in the US are living from paycheque to paycheque.

"Financial exclusion and a rising cost of living have created severe financial stress for hard-working people around the world,"

We have brought together world-class strategic partners in transportation, grocery delivery and compute, along with the best capital resources to scale our core autonomy platform, trial products with our commercial fleet partners, and build the infrastructure to scale AV2.0 globally."

"Modern businesses need flexible and collaborative tools that grow and adapt as their operations do, but too many teams are stuck using rigid, unyielding CRM tools that aren't built for the 21st Century. Attio is the antidote. It allows companies to remove manual data entry, drawing from existing data streams like email and calendars, to create a complete dataset before building total customizable workflows on top, empowering teams with the exact workflow they need. We're really excited about the potential for Attio to transform how companies approach CRM and are looking forward to working with our brilliant investors to achieve it."

"Combining Circle’s strategic investment with our decade of knowledge and experience of capital raising in Europe, Crowdcube is extremely well positioned to capitalise on our first-mover advantage into Europe’s high growth investment market. Capital raising and private company investing have never been so exciting,"

"Over the past two decades, the pace of new payment solutions entering the market has been accelerating dramatically to support global consumer demand for trends like mobile payments, digital wallets, 1-click checkout, buy now pay later, and so on. However, no one payment solution is close to accommodating all the changes and innovations that merchants need to keep up. So, for merchants’ payment and engineering teams, this dynamic forces immense technical complexity in tying together multiple payment methods, gateways, fraud detection, and more."

"The security of our operations and data is paramount to the success of Arm, and we’re committed to empowering our people to make sound security decisions while doing their jobs effectively. The concept of human layer security is becoming a critical part of doing business today. Tessian enables us to reduce risk across the organization by providing valuable tools and knowledge to not only stop threats like advanced phishing attacks and accidental data loss, but also continually improve the security behaviors of our teams as the threat landscape evolves."

"For years, companies have been searching for ways to make office communications faster. Not just for when team members are working from home, but between teams on different floors, different offices or across time zones. None have quite managed to combine speed and efficiency with security and minimal disruption until now. Plus, the potential of Riff is huge. We’re only just scratching the surface of what such a communication tool can do and offer to companies and it’s an exciting road to be on."

"Ontario Teachers' deep experience and credibility with global financial institutions made them a natural choice to lead the round,"

We exist to empower the next generation to transform fashion."
