The seed round was co-led by Playfair Capital and Credo Ventures with participation from Techstart Ventures and angel investors.

"Before founding Continuum Industries, we led a 150-people strong hyperloop team at the University of Edinburgh. While there, we built the UK’s first hyperloop prototype vehicle and successfully competed in contests run by SpaceX and Virgin Hyperloop One. It was the hyperloop moonshot that made us realise the socio-economic value of infrastructure and forced us to think about better ways of taking infrastructure projects from ideas to reality."

Pre-Seed
£400K

The pre-seed round was led by Techstart Ventures and will support team expansion and product integrations.

"Most companies are sitting on a growing pile of crucial customer feedback, but they lack the tools to actually make sense of it. We love that Prodsight unlocks this trapped value for customers by extracting actionable insights from customer feedback channels, allowing users to make the product changes that will matter the most."

Seed
£2.1M

The Belfast based software firm raised the seed capital from Frontline Ventures, MMC Ventures, and Techstart Ventures.

"We believe that the concept of provenance will play a defining role in the future of software security and quality. All companies need end-to-end visibility and control of the assets in their software pipelines. It’s important to have the support of Frontline and MMC as we enter this critical stage in Cloudsmith’s growth,"
— Alan Carson
