The London software firm has secured backing from IQ Capital and Nikon to expand its automated manufacturing platform globally.
"Despite its clear economic and environmental benefits, manufacturers have difficulty implementing additive manufacturing at an industrial scale. This is due to concerns about its reliability and ease of adoption. We believe that automation and smart use of data is the solution to this problem. By partnering with Nikon as a leading technology provider who has a grand vision for the future of manufacturing, and IQ Capital as a deep-tech investor with proven track record of supporting global businesses, we are well positioned to achieve our goal for automating the factories of the future."
The seed round was led by IQ Capital and Lakestar to commercialise the Lancaster University spin-out's enterprise security software for artificial intelligence.
"Currently, Mindgard is deployed by key intelligence organisations around the world to assess, detect, and respond to AI issues and attacks as they happen. With this seed funding, Mindgard now becomes available to enterprises that need to protect their operations against the rapidly-evolving AI threat landscape. We are defining and driving the security for AI space, and believe that Mindgard will quickly become a must-have for any enterprise with AI assets."
The seed round was led by IQ Capital with participation from Type One and Creator Fund.
"We are excited about the opportunity which the investment will provide for Signaloid to accelerate the adoption of our platform.

We’re thrilled to receive this backing from a range of industry-leading investors combined with the continued backing ongoing support of our existing shareholders and look forward to the company’s continued rapid growth and innovative development."

"Once again, we were blown away by the interest we received from investors, but as we carve our niche in the market, we remain steadfast in being selective of shareholders whose values and ambition align closely with our own. In spite of the economic downturn, we are encouraged that some of Europe’s most reputable investors believe in, and are keen to financially support, CyberSmart’s mission to protect and empower the underserved SME market against cybercrime. More importantly, we are delighted that they trust us to deliver on that vision, and I look forward to seeing how much we can accomplish in the year ahead."
