"Siloton has brought together a uniquely qualified team that is able to drive forward technology development at an unprecedented pace. This new support will help us take the next step towards commercialisation by shifting gear from R&D to product development. The population of individuals with retinal disease is growing. New, more affordable and accessible OCT systems like our Akepa technology will be critical to serving patients with precision and efficiency. In turn, this could help reduce preventable blindness, save healthcare providers billions of pounds, and reduce pressure on already stretched eye clinics."

"We’re working hard to encourage more women to get involved with angel investing. Our support for Kaydiar is a great example of bringing together grant, angel and institutional funding to provide the resources to support the development of an innovative, early-stage company in Wales. Our syndicate is delighted to support Heather Smart and David Barton, two young podiatrists who are applying new technologies to improve patient outcomes in the footcare sector. We all look forward to working with Kaydiar to build a world class company."

"AI as a technology block has huge potential in the sleep tech industry and equally the specific ScentTech sector within that, in which OW is a leader. ML and AI are opening up capabilities of predictions and data integration merging patterns from individual real-time biofeedback with many other core variables around sleep, user profile and environment. OW’s AI engine has been in development for over 5 years. Able to model multiple scent designs through the sleep cycle but taking into account all the huge factors noted above using predictive modelling and database analysis to deliver highly optimised and individual point solutions."

"Smell can be our most powerful sense and only now are we realising the potential of technology to translate it for experience, welfare and health. This technology has enormous commercial applications which this new investment will help us unlock."
