LinkedInThe funding round was led by PT1 Ventures to support product development and European expansion.
"I wanted to invest in energy tech companies shaping the future, but after three years I realised no one was building what I wanted, and I thought I’d find someone doing it. That was the genesis for me leaving,"
The funding round was led by SFC Capital to support expansion into NHS England trusts.
"Pontiro was built inside the NHS, alongside the teams who use it every day. That matters. With this investment, we’re taking infrastructure that already works at scale in Wales and making it available to trusts across the country who are navigating the same challenges."

"I am proud to see my rigorous research translated into trusted real-world AI innovation for the transport sector. With this investment, we can now realise my Future Leaders Fellowship vision, scaling a technology that empowers authorities across the UK to deliver integrated, net-zero transport."
The Dublin-based HR tech startup secured the capital from Eurazeo alongside existing backers to grow its team and carrier network.
"As a founder and GM, I experienced how managing benefits through email, between brokers and insurance companies, was completely disconnected and alien from everything else in the business."
The seed round was led by Fuel Ventures to support research and development and international expansion.
"I spent 14 years as a medical researcher, and I would spend hundreds of hours copying data from one system to another. The back-office process is completely broken. When you multiply this across the industry the costs for patients and research institutions are astronomical."
