Pre-Seed
£3.6M

Amadeus Capital Partners and Oxford Science Enterprises led the pre-seed round to accelerate the deployment of the robotics intelligence platform.

"Stateless systems treat every decision in isolation and cannot remember previous incidents or how work actually flows through a site. Stateful’s platform builds a persistent, shared model of tasks, environments and past behaviour that lets robots adapt to disruption and complete missions safely without constant supervision."
— Nick Hawes, Chief Scientist and Co-Founder
Seed
£4.0M

Northern Gritstone led the over-subscribed seed round with participation from Empirical Ventures, Praetura Ventures, and private backers.

"Northern Gritstone is delighted to support Exciting Instruments’ internationally renowned team from the University of Sheffield. Their technology will open up a broad range of health-related research and discovery and will also support job creation in Sheffield’s thriving tech cluster."
— Duncan Johnson, CEO
