Co-founder and Partner
Wellington Management led the financing round, which brings total funding to £110m.
"Everyone is focused on building bigger models, but for physical AI, the bottleneck isn't model size. It's data readiness. You can have the most sophisticated model in the world, and it will still fail if the data feeding it is incomplete, inconsistent, or misaligned with real-world conditions. That's the problem we solve."
The London-based startup secured the capital to push its optical brain tracking technology toward hospitals and intensive care units.
The Series B round was led by Next47 with participation from Y Combinator, CRV, and Crane Venture Partners.
"In 10 years, every company will have an AI department in the same way that they have an IT department today or risk losing relevance, and Encord will be the only platform they need to accomplish the process of turning data into functional AI models,"
The series A round was led by TriplePoint with backing from Runa Capital, True Capital, and Crane Venture Partners.
"I am pleased to welcome our new investors, joining our friends at Crane who have been with us since the beginning,"
The investment round was led by Crane with backing from fifteen angel investors.
"It is essential that every business becomes more climate friendly. For TrueLayer, doing right for our planet is important, an ethos shared by both our customers and our employees. Lune was the easiest way for our business to take the first steps, have a real impact, and continue building the future of the payments industry."
