Praetura Ventures and Verge HealthTech Fund co-led the seed round to support preventative care for severe mental illness.
"We understood CareLoop’s mission, vision for transforming severe mental illness aftercare and the wider roadmap from our very first meeting with the team. Fast-forward to the present day and we’re incredibly excited to not only be supporting the company with investment but also the more than money guidance and network support it needs to scale and deploy its technology across the NHS and other global health institutions. The company is a testament to the quality of spinouts coming out of the University of Manchester, and the North West’s universities more generally. In addition, it’s great to see the GMC Life Sciences Fund by Praetura and the NPIFII – Praetura Equity Finance funds collaborate alongside co-investors from the UK and Singapore."

The pre-seed round will fund national expansion and the deployment of zero-cost solar and battery systems.
"The strength of our pre-seed round is a welcome start to the next phase of GRYD Energy’s journey as we prepare to scale our solar technology and service nationwide. We’re fortunate to have the backing of fantastic investors like Black Seed and SFC who share our sense of urgency to accelerate the UK’s clean energy transition and ensure no one is left behind. With around 250,000 new homes being built in the UK each year, the untapped solar potential of our residential rooftops is immense and only continues to grow – as does the pressing need to ensure that Britain’s new housing stock is futureproofed and primed for a clean, energy efficient future. With the support of such renowned and motivated industry players, we’re confident GRYD Energy can play a vital role in that effort."
