Smedvig Ventures

"I've seen ambitious, talented IT specialists, who should have been building scalable systems, end up repacking boxes and wiping laptops with rags, while also trying to solve the problem of a device stuck at the border. Across thousands of companies, this is not an exception. It is an everyday reality. We built Tequipy so IT can supervise the process instead of executing every step of it by hand."

"Amplifying the impact of healthcare professionals is central to our mission. For too long, they have worked with outdated systems that take them away from what matters most – the patient. With this latest funding, we are looking to bring Semble to professionals across the UK and France, empowering them to spend more time on patient care. We will continue to invest heavily in workflow automation and integrations, positioning Semble at the forefront of AI-driven solutions, and ultimately creating a more connected healthcare ecosystem."

"It is widely accepted that human error is the most prevalent vector for cyber-attacks and is poorly protected against by ineffective training programmes. Advanced analytics applied to real-time behavioural data presents an original approach for CISOs to control human cyber risk. CultureAI is pioneering this with its market-leading software, offering immediate visibility and mitigation of vulnerabilities. James has an incredible reputation as a thought leader in the space and we are excited to partner with him and his team alongside Mercia Ventures."

"We are incredibly proud to work with Praetura, a fellow Manchester based organisation with extensive resources, networks and expertise to support us on our mission to give every performance marketer access to reliable, transparent IVT detection that drives proven commercial success. With invalid traffic never higher, and the paid media landscape never more complex, we are poised for incredible growth both at home and abroad, and are excited to have the Praetura team with us on the journey."
