LinkedInThe Scottish laser technology specialist has raised over £1m from existing investors and Innovate UK to fund healthcare product rollouts and emissions monitoring tools.
"Designing and manufacturing state-of-the-art ultrafast infra-red lasers brings huge value and efficiencies to the global healthcare market. Our new '920' builds on a decade of research and IP development to extend our product roadmap."
The funding will support the commercialisation of the firm's patented Wi-Fi audio technology.
"Steve brings the skillset and firsthand experience of generating demand in a very targeted manner which is critical to advance Fi-Live™ as we expand from being a product focused company in one niche to a broad technology provider"
The Edinburgh based agritech firm has raised over half a million pounds to accelerate manufacturing of its portable semen testing device.
"We are very proud to secure this additional round of funding which will help to rapidly increase our production meaning we can help even more farmers across Scotland, the UK and beyond."
The funding round was led by Highland Technology to support technology development and expansion.
"Snappy Shopper’s business model sets them apart from their rivals who rely on expensive site leases and fit outs, holding of inventory and logistics processes, to compete with convenience store retailers. Instead, Snappy partners with thousands of small business owners who have been serving their communities for years, if not generations, and enable them to not only serve their customers better but grow their own businesses. I have been really impressed with how Snappy have continued to grow the number of retailers they support and customer orders they process, with sector leading KPIs on retention and basket size, through their collaborative approach with the retailers. With an exceptional senior leadership and broader team now in place, we expect them to continue their impressive growth trajectory across the UK and into Europe, and I look forward to working with Mike and team on this journey."
The seed round was backed by Par Equity, Kelvin Capital, and Gabriel Investment Syndicate.
