The pre-seed round was backed by EHE Ventures, Insurtech Gateway, and QVentures to fund product development and hiring.

"Marine weather errors cost the industry over £1.2 billion a year and that figure’s growing. A single bad forecast can halt operations, with each idle vessel costing £100K–£700K per day depending on asset class, project stage, and insurance liabilities. We’re solving that with precision forecasting that adapts to local conditions in real-time."

Helen Ventures led the seed round with participation from international investors to fund European expansion and product development.

"It is our privilege to join the Renewabl team in their impressive growth story. Consuming clean electricity that matches on an hourly or 15-minute basis is fast becoming an imperative for net-zero-aligned companies – with good reason – whereas tracking and procuring this energy is a challenge,"
— Mikael Myllymäki, Vice President and Head of Helen Ventures

— Sean Wotherspoon, Designer

£1.1M

The pre seed round was structured by South Pole, QVentures and Portfolion to prepare for a European rollout.

"We are excited to get started and solve a pressing issue around greenwashing and questions that a lot of the corporate sector are asking right now: where do my certificates come from? will they count towards my sustainability targets? are they impactful? can they be matched to my exact consumption? This is why Renewabl was born."
— Juan Pablo Cerda, CEO
Pre-Seed

Pre-Seed
£2.0M

QVentures led the pre-seed round with backing from Episode1 and industry angels to support the Meristem platform.

— Tim Flynn, Co-founder
Series B
£36.7M

The Series B round was led by Autodesk with backing from Lockheed Martin and British Patient Capital.

"When people think of manufacturing, they tend to think of robotic car factories, and don’t realise that the industry is dominated by craft processes reliant on dwindling expert knowledge. This makes it incredibly complex to get things made, stifling the pace of innovation,"

QVentures has backed the online marketplace for affordable art in its latest seed round.

"Millennials and Gen-Z are buying art like never before. The alternatives to access affordable art today are not specifically designed to trade art and so the process to discover as a buyer and upload as an artist is dull and unfit for purpose. We believe that digital art is the stepping stone for millennials and Gen-Z to engage with the NFT market and are very excited to be supporting Odie and the BRUSHWRK team as they challenge traditional ways of the art market."
— Robert Walsh, Managing Partner
Pre-Seed

Calm/Storm VC led the pre-seed round, which also saw participation from QVentures and an innovation grant from InnovateUK.

"Our mission at Béa is to democratise access to effective fertility treatments; providing people with more options. ICI is clinically proven to be highly effective when it comes to increasing the chances of conception, but it’s not made available to people at the beginning of their fertility journey. Instead, they have to take a big leap into the expensive world of invasive treatments. But for people where there’s no medically-identified issue causing infertility, ICI can be the ideal way of maximising their chances of getting pregnant. We’re designing a product that enables people to do this easily and affordably, all from home."
— Tess Cosad, CEO and co-founder
Series A
£9.0M

The investment round was led by dmg Ventures with backing from QVentures and private family office investors.

"QVentures gave us access to a much broader range of capital than we would have been able to draw from without their support. This enabled us to raise more capital, quicker, from an investor base that is able to bring a more diverse source of value. We found the level of service and support they offered to be exemplary allowing us to maintain focus on our business."
— Jeremy Duckworth, CFO
Series C
£39.0M

The financing round drew participation from Legal & General, Tencent, and QVentures to support genomics software development.

"We are thrilled to be supporting Congenica in developing their world-leading technology to deliver life-changing answers. At QVentures, we strive to support cutting-edge technology companies that really change how an industry operates and we believe David and his team are doing just that. We are pleased that QVentures’ Family Offices and UHNWI investors could join us on that journey."
— Robert Walsh, Managing Partner

QVentures has backed Opsly in its pre-seed funding round.

"With current platforms focusing on core application development, Opsly’s intuitive drag and drop interface will become a critical component in streamlining the deployment of these applications on the cloud and ongoing DevOps management. We’re excited to be working with Dhiraj and the team to see them through these next stages."
— Brian Hatton, Partner
Pre-Seed
£250K

The pre-seed round was led by QVentures with participation from angel investors including Simon Franks and Douglas Choi.

"I was let go from a previous role because I needed to work from home occasionally in order to accommodate my autoimmune disease. The fact that candidates do not know whether they will be able to work in a way that works for them is unacceptable. We are on a mission to bring a more flexible, inclusive way of working to as many people as we possibly can."
— Molly Johnson-Jones, CEO
Seed
£20.2M

QVentures backs the deep learning mapping platform in its latest financing round.

"Having seen Abhi and Phil develop the PowerMarket software to fit the energy mapping needs of both grid operators and councils since first engaging with them in November 2019, we’re very excited for the future of PowerMarket and how it can become a staple tool in the smarter and more sustainable cities of the future."
