"Traditional recruitment is often unsuccessful and, so far, AI hasn’t helped much. We’re currently seeing an AI ‘arms race’ to the bottom, with companies being flooded by AI-generated applications, while individuals are often subjected to inhumane – and unethical – screening. Dex offers an alternative. We’re excited about this seed funding, which will drive our ambition of redefining how talent and opportunity connect."

"We call it giving your website a brain. Because that’s literally what we’re doing. And once you see a website that can think, you can’t go back to one that can’t."

"MCP is unlocking a new frontier for AI agents. But, right now, MCP is completely unsuitable for the enterprise. We’re building the security-first solution that will change this. Our open-source platform means anyone, whether you’re an engineer or a HR rep, can safely and impactfully integrate AI agents into their workflow – driving efficiency and impact at scale – without increasing risks. The speed at which we’re moving reflects how passionate we are about this solution and the impact we think it can have in the market."

"Dex’s mission is to empower individuals to do meaningful work byconnecting them with opportunities that align with their ambitions and values. Our aim is to redefine how talent and opportunity connect, globally. We’re working at the forefront of what is possible when it comes to conversational, generative AI and we’re thrilled to have some of the best AI investors in the world helping us to achieve that vision."

"AI is transforming how people and businesses operate, and delegating work to AI is the future. Capably is leading this shift, and we’re excited to back them in redefining the way work gets done."

"Machines break down on average 600 hours every year, and the current manual processes to get them operational again are inefficient and time-consuming. Each machine can have between 50 to 200 documents attached, and with dealerships handling up to 1,000 machines annually, pinpointing issues can be a daunting task. Our platform ingests all manuals, enabling us to access the right documents and provide solutions in seconds rather than days. This significantly reduces downtime and recovers lost revenue."

"It’s always exciting when we hear about entrepreneurs who have landed on a truly untapped market. That’s what the team at Symbe has done. Every single company in the world is selling something. But very few have explored how AI and machine learning can turbocharge that process, whilst protecting the trust and personalisation that ultimately help teams win. Symbe’s technology will usher in a new frontier when it comes to how companies position their offering and ultimately close deals. We’re very excited to back this talented trio of founders at the beginning of their journey."

"HR and People teams are responsible for so many vital things – from culture to compensation. But too many colleagues see them as just a route to key information, like their payslips and P60s. This means HR teams are drowning in fiddly, low-value admin tasks. Harriet AI is freeing them from this burden; allowing HR teams to focus on their real purpose and show how valuable their role in a company really is."

"Data has become the most valuable asset a company owns, but evolving workplace habits that require greater collaboration and sharing of data are putting enormous pressures on enterprise security. Imagine being able to receive your banking password via WhatsApp or X without having to worry about compliance or security issues. Klarytee is transforming enterprise security architecture by helping teams to be more productive across the platforms that they use every day while embracing the latest technologies from AI to cloud."

"The Treefera platform and its exceptional team impressed us beyond measure. This innovation not only contributes to the fight against climate change but also offers businesses, governments, and landowners a compelling commercial opportunity. With Treefera, trust and accuracy are injected into carbon offset projects, positioning tree conservation as the smart and essential choice."

"In the current economic climate, there is a lot of pressure on CROs and sales teams to ensure revenues are predictable. When it comes to CRM systems, sales representatives can often feel overwhelmed and struggle to prioritise tasks while team leaders become increasingly anxious due to the lack of visibility. All of this can result in winnable deals being lost. With Superlayer’s best-in-class analytics, dashboards and integrations, available out of the box, teams can get hold of pertinent RevOps insights at the click of a button, allowing them to build replicable and successful sales processes."

"Others shouldn’t have to grind it out like I did as a teenager. Our mission is to give players personalised insights at the right time so they can instantly improve,"

"While working in fashion, it became clear to me that e-commerce was the future, but 2D websites were merely a tool that enabled an online purchase, but were lacking the customer journey and story-telling that brands are after. The solution was to bridge that gap, with the aim of making virtual experiences into the future of brands’ long-term e-commerce strategy."
