"Every Trust we meet tells us the same story: they need qualified staff now, but they cannot risk patient safety or compliance. Our platform gives them speed without compromise, predictability without cost inflation, and sustainability where locum dependency has become unsustainable. TERN Group’s mission is for every placement to set off a chain reaction: anurse arriving on time means a ward runs smoothly, which means patients get treated faster.

Our open-source platform means anyone, whether you’re an engineer or a HR rep, can safely and impactfully integrate AI agents into their workflow – driving efficiency and impact at scale – without increasing risks. The speed at which we’re moving reflects how passionate we are about this solution and the impact we think it can have in the market."

"GenAI has pushed the boundaries of what’s possible with design, but for creative professionals working at the break-neck speed of today, velocity means little without quality and control. Recraft was built with one core idea: AI should amplify creativity, not compromise it. With this funding, we’re doubling down on our commitment to creative teams, providing the tools they need to stay on-brand and scale quickly."
The Series B round was led by Repeat with participation from RTP Global and Latitude to support product growth and international expansion.
"Since our Series A raise we’ve grown steadily as interest in Yonder’s offering for young people has snowballed. We’ve capitalised on our momentum to raise this significant funding round, which will help to fund some monumental milestones in Yonder’s journey."
The pre-seed round was led by a consortium including Seedcamp, Concept Ventures, RTP Global, C2V, and FJ Labs.
"Machines break down on average 600 hours every year, and the current manual processes to get them operational again are inefficient and time-consuming. Each machine can have between 50 to 200 documents attached, and with dealerships handling up to 1,000 machines annually, pinpointing issues can be a daunting task. Our platform ingests all manuals, enabling us to access the right documents and provide solutions in seconds rather than days. This significantly reduces downtime and recovers lost revenue."
The Series A round was led by Khosla Ventures and Nat Friedman to support the development of proprietary foundation models.
"I truly believe that AI has the ability to reshape design and influence the way that we look at the world.

And the development of our Foundation Model will enable us to improve the quality and consistency of the AI-generated graphic design."
The financing comprises £12.5m in equity and £50m in debt, valuing the business at over £70m.
"We are thrilled to continue to be part of the Yonder journey as young professionals eagerly seek a cutting-edge digital credit card that delivers not only enhanced customer convenience but also genuine relevance.

"Unstructured data can be more analyzable, if AI is more accessible. At Instill AI we are committed to making this happen.

"Over the past two decades, the pace of new payment solutions entering the market has been accelerating dramatically to support global consumer demand for trends like mobile payments, digital wallets, 1-click checkout, buy now pay later, and so on. However, no one payment solution is close to accommodating all the changes and innovations that merchants need to keep up. So, for merchants’ payment and engineering teams, this dynamic forces immense technical complexity in tying together multiple payment methods, gateways, fraud detection, and more."
The funding round was led by RTP Global with backing from JamJar Investments.
"The broadband market is broken and consumers are being ripped off every day. The importance of fast, reliable and affordable broadband has come into sharper focus with millions of people working from home over the past year. We’re excited that this funding will enable us to help tens of thousands of people across the country make their broadband simple, for good."
The round was led by RTP Global with participation from angel investors Jens Lapinski and Chris Adelsbach.

"The car market is one of the last retail categories that has yet to shift online, with online penetration of car sales being still below 1%, while 20% of all UK retail sales are now online. Drover’s digital ‘car-as-a-service’ model is the right approach to truly build the ‘Amazon of Cars’ as it lends itself much better to an online model than does the long-term commitment, high ticket size type transaction of buying a car with cash or on finance. As a result, the last few years have seen Drover evolve and grow into a seriouscontender in the UK car retailing market. The Drover team has been agile through COVID-19 and that has enabled us to continue to show fantastic growth in a challenging time. The need for a simpler, more flexible model for car ownership is only accelerating and we’re proud to be leading that journey in the UK and France and in hopefully many more markets in the future."
