Recent investments

Series C
£260M

Bullhound Capital led the Series C financing, which stands as Europe's largest private quantum funding round.

"Globally, it represents a clear shift in the market from long-term promise to near-term delivery in quantum computing. For OQC, this gives us the capital to scale internationally, advance our technology roadmap, and meet increasing demand from customers seeking secure, scalable access to quantum computing infrastructure."
— Gerald Mullally, CEO
Series A
£10.0M

The round was led by Santander Alternative Investments to support the commercial rollout of the company optical ground station.

"It is an exciting moment for Archangel Lightworks to be able to announce this successful round of capital as the demand for space-based information and connectivity continues to grow exponentially. The Archangel Lightworks team has done incredible work designing, building, and deploying our laser communications systems, and now is the time for us to accelerate with our partners, new and old, to meet the needs that we are hearing from our customers across markets."
— Richard Johanson, CEO
Pre-Seed
£820K

Fuel Ventures and Oxford Capital co-led the pre-seed round to accelerate product development for the technology firm.

"AI-powered bots and agents are a powerful tool but they also pose a growing threat. These AI agents give people superhuman powers to shape narratives, manipulate systems, and undermine trust at scale. At Egregious, we’re building a defense line for humanity. With Oxford Capital and Fuel Ventures behind us, we’re ready to face these global challenges head-on and redefine how we combat AI-driven deception."
— Rupert Small, CEO and Founder
Seed
£1.5M

The oversubscribed round was co-led by Mercuri and Sure Valley Ventures to expand the engineering and enterprise sales teams.

"Ittybit was created to address the pain we felt handling large videos in our previous companies. We built the media tools we wished we’d had access to, and are making them available to all developers, because robust media workflows shouldn’t be so expensive or complicated that only the largest tech companies can access them."
— Paul Williams, Founder
Pre-Seed
£710K

Oxford Capital led the pre-seed round to help the startup launch its first product.

"As two women from the North East, we’ve had to overcome significant challenges to get to this stage. But as a result, we’re extremely intentional in our approach. And we’re unwavering in our commitment to do right by people"
— Laura Mills, COO
