Speedinvest is a venture capital investor that backs early-stage technology companies.
Speedinvest led the Series A round to fund the company expansion into Germany and the wider European market.
"With a strong footprint in our home market France, Germany is the perfect starting point for our ambitious European expansion. Our goal is to create a clear and secure way to use both euros and digital assets in everyday life – and these markets are critical to defining the future of on-chain banking in Europe."
The out of stealth startup secured backing from Earlybird and Speedinvest to accelerate its three dimensional artificial intelligence prototypes.
"Current AI models generate images pixel by pixel — great for snapshots, but not for immersive, coherent worlds. At SpAItial, we’re building AI that’s grounded in space and time from the start. Our spatial foundation models are a game changer for any application that depends on 3D understanding."
The London-based startup raised £3.2m led by Speedinvest to grow its engineering team and scale in the US market.
"Rival will become the essential infrastructure for the spatial computing era, making 3D creation accessible to millions of everyday users. We’re building a platform that removes technical barriers, enabling a new generation of creators to shape immersive digital experiences. Our technology solves the critical content gap that’s currently limiting the potential of spatial computing"
Speedinvest led the pre-seed round, which will fund international expansion and product development.
"Lenders are losing a significant portion of their economics to third-party fees and endless structuring processes. We want to help them claim back that value by simplifying their access to a broader range of financing options. This will ultimately benefit their clients, consumers and small businesses of the real economy, at a time where innovative credit, payment, and embedded finance products are rapidly growing. Our solution is applicable to any finance product. We are here to support any lender, anywhere, and help them scale their operations."
Speedinvest led the equity portion of the financing alongside grant backing from Innovate UK.
"Critical to XR’s mass adoption is enabling users to interact with virtual images for as long as they like, without feeling nauseous, and to seamlessly shift focus between physical and virtual environments. Our technology, compatible with LCD, OLED, or any type of display, makes that possible. By projecting a digital image onto a user’s retina, keeps the image in focus regardless of how the eyes adjust to the surrounding world, completely eliminating any discomfort. After more than a decade of research, we’re now ready to take our technology to market, unleashing possibilities across automotive, medical, engineering industries, and more."
