The funding round was led by The Yield Lab, STIHL Ventures, and ACF Investors to drive global product growth.
"The Spotta platform built by Robert, Neil and the team delivers a real solution which can completely turn the insect pest control industry on its head. With their smart 24/7 monitoring enabling customers to precision target treatment for the first time. It’s a solution that protects people and crops but also hugely reduces the cost and environmental impact of treatment."
The oversubscribed round drew backing from Remus Capital, Plug and Play, and Innovate UK alongside notable angel investors.
"We are very excited by the research and commercial potential of the Syndi Health platform. It will help us understand how better to support the mental health needs of our people and offer them the personalised digital support they need at the earliest opportunity, which is invaluable."
The financing round was co-led by Speedinvest and firstminute capital to help double the startup engineering team.
"In one case, a machine learning engineer used Tenyks to identify the root causes of 80% of their algorithm’s failures. These findings helped them deliver higher quality results to their customers because of the significantly improved system performance. Moreover, future new deployments can be onboarded in half the time because the engineers can now focus their efforts on alleviating the key bottlenecks,"
The seed round was led by Nielsen Ventures and Hoxton Ventures to scale quantum computing development.
"In the world of quantum technologies, where data acquisition is expensive and the parameter space is large, it is a massive challenge to develop software to characterise and control qubits at scale,"
Cambridge Angels and REMUS led the seed round to support international expansion and product development.
"For decades, pest management has been held back by laborious, error-prone manual monitoring. With our technology it is finally possible to change this and help industries around the world to make a step change from reactive to proactive management of pests. This will save billions and massively reduce the amount of pesticide used globally. We’re delighted to have strong support from a wide group of investors who share our vision. This funding will allow us to scale up our commercial operations and continue to address the £320bn global problem of insect pests."
