LinkedInGresham House Ventures led the Series B round, with participation from existing backers Pembroke VCT and Ingenii Capital.
"This round of investment means we can take what we’ve built in the UK into new European markets and compete on the global stage. Payments have been dominated by a small number of incumbents for a long time. We want to provide a powerful and efficient alternative to businesses, not just in Europe, but globally,"
The funding round was co-led by Pembroke VCT and Airbridge Equity Partners to support product development and team expansion.
"This funding marks an exciting new chapter for CybaVerse. Having such a high calibre of investors onboard validates our vision to design and deliver innovative solutions that empower MSPs and SMEs. With this investment, we will accelerate CybaOps development, enhance AI-driven features, and expand our team to bring smarter, more scalable security to MSPs and SMEs, all while staying true to our mission of simplifying cyber security for everyone."
Ingenii VC and Pembroke VCT provide follow on funding to support the rollout of Ryft's unified omnichannel payment infrastructure.
"Since launching our automated online payment solutions, we’ve had repeated calls to bring the same simplicity and speed to integrated payments. Businesses processing both in-person and online payments – whether they’re marketplaces, franchises, or acquirers – have lacked a truly competitive solution, leaving too many relying on cumbersome and unnecessarily complicated end-of-month reconciliations and reporting. With the launch of our omni-channel payment platform, Ryft will enable businesses operating online and in-store to efficiently process, manage, and monetise payments at scale in a secure and compliant way. In turn, allowing them to maximise the value of every transaction."
Pembroke VCT led the five million pound financing round to support the scale-up of artificial intelligence storage systems.
"With a team that has repeatedly scaled and exited category-defining businesses, and early validation from some of the most complex customers in the world, we believe PEAK:AIO is positioned to be a critical enabler of the AI revolution."
The round was jointly led by Edge VC and Pembroke VCT to support international expansion and product development.
"As AI evolves, so does the gap between businesses adopting it and those being left behind. AI talent is in short supply, and costs are high. Companies need solutions that let them deploy AI agents without heavy investment in AI teams or long development cycles. We’re making AI agent creation as easy as writing a Google Doc, so that SaaS companies can embed AI without friction."
