"The mid-market is in a gap-zone of cybersecurity: too complex for basic tools, too niche for enterprise-level bespoke providers. Talion’s Hybrid Defence model fills that gap by offering transparency, shared control, and solutions scaled to the needs of firms that are growing fast but can’t afford to be overcharged or left exposed. With this investment, we can accelerate our innovation in MDR, threat intelligence, and service delivery for mid-sized enterprises."
Redalpine led the Series A round to support team expansion and the rollout of new capabilities.

We believe Synthesized can become the infrastructure layer for intelligent, automated quality assurance across regulated and mission-critical systems."

The oversubscribed round was led by Energy Impact Partners with backing from several climate and technology investors.
"We are laser-focused on doing the hard yards to improve the physical layer of the grid, specifically overhead systems. The AssetCool team is innovating at the nexus between robotics and materials science to bring meaningful improvements to an aging network. We’ve developed a new range of coatings systematically optimised for overhead lines that makes the grid more efficient and resilient – not by rebuilding it, but by enhancing what already exists."
