Amadeus Capital Partners led the Seed round, with backing from Ahren Innovation Capital, IQ Capital, Cambridge Enterprise, Martlet Capital, and Seraphim Capital, to fund new labs and recruitment.
"Our aim is to enable the potential of quantum mechanics using quantum photonics hardware. This funding will allow us to do just that – a world-class multidisciplinary team and our new laboratories will give Nu Quantum the ability to deliver meaningful demonstrations of our technology into the hands of customers and partners for the first time."
The University of Southampton spinout secured Series A backing from IQ Capital, Bloc Ventures, and the IP Group to scale its operations.
"From gaming and VR to automated robotic manufacturing lines and telemedicine, the use cases on the road to 5G appear almost limitless. But a critical roadblock remains – latency. For more than 15 years a research team led by Prof. Maunder, first at the University of Southampton and now at AccelerComm, has been working to solve the challenge to deliver on the 5G promise of a low latency, high throughput experience. We are delighted to have closed our Series A funding round, which will help us further develop and deploy our already market leading technology to help improve the efficiency of networks for many years to come."
The financing will support clinical trials, product development and team expansion as the business pursues international regulatory approvals.
"Our work in the US and the success of the trials we have run to date have demonstrated the potential of our technology and encouraged us to pursue other applications. With this financing and the backing of our investors we can accelerate our mission of delivering effective and non-invasive solutions for some of the most common and debilitating medical conditions."
The Imperial College spin-out has secured seed backing led by IQ Capital to scale its team and customer base.
"We are delighted to receive this funding from our investor partners – it’s a fantastic indication of their faith in the commercial applications of our technology. This funding will give TOffeeAM the opportunity to continue our success at speeding up 3D printing across all industries by up to 20 times faster and to expand our team with expert engineers and other team members, and continue to scale the solution to serve our rapidly expanding customer base. We are at the beginning of an exciting journey, and this funding will help drive our growth and the wider use of this transformative technology across a variety of industries."
IQ Capital led the Series A financing to support the cybersecurity provider's continued growth.
"Cyber security has become increasingly important, more so with the global shift to remote working, especially for the SMB market that CyberSmart supports. CyberSmart has already achieved great success by identifying SMBs as a market segment that was underserved by the cyber security industry. The company has a strong product-market fit, is hitting targets well ahead of schedule, and has secured strategic partnerships to further market penetration within the UK and internationally. The team has been incredible to work with over the last year and demonstrated thought leadership and deep understanding of the needs of SMBs, enabling CyberSmart to provide automated, and simple to implement protection for firms with 1-20+ employees"
