Series A
£24.3M

BGF and Tencent join existing shareholders to support the biotechnology company in advancing its drug development programmes.

"We are delighted to have significantly added to our Series A financing, which we see as a strong validation of both our technology and our progress to date. I would like to thank Tencent and BGF for their belief in our potential, as well as all our existing investors for their continued support."
— Theodora Harold, Chief Executive Officer
Series A
£48.0M

The financing round was led by Sofinnova Partners, F-Prime Capital, Digitalis Ventures and Cambridge Innovation Capital.

"We’re delighted to have raised this Series A with such high-quality investors whose amazing networks and shared vision will help us deliver highly differentiated TCR cancer therapies. TCR therapeutics are very much at the dawn of their potential. We intend to replicate the success of therapeutic antibodies but build on this in a new dimension, by using the targeting domains of TCR receptors to take advantage of their much greater specificity for cancer cells compared to normal cells. The same logic can be used to target immunosuppressive biologics to tissues impacted by autoimmune disorders."
— Allan Bradley, Chief Scientific Officer
Seed
£7.0M

The pre-series A round was led by Amadeus Capital Partners, Expeditions Fund, and IQ Capital.

"Large-scale, fault-tolerant quantum computing will bring about the technological revolution of our generation. We have built an exceptional team dedicated to the mission of building the quantum networking infrastructure necessary to make this a reality. We are grateful to the investors who share our vision for their support as we scale and commercialise our solution."
— Carmen Palacios, Founder and CEO
Seed
£2.5M

The financing round was co-led by Speedinvest and firstminute capital to help double the startup engineering team.

"In one case, a machine learning engineer used Tenyks to identify the root causes of 80% of their algorithm’s failures. These findings helped them deliver higher quality results to their customers because of the significantly improved system performance. Moreover, future new deployments can be onboarded in half the time because the engineers can now focus their efforts on alleviating the key bottlenecks,"
— Botty Dimanov, CEO
Series A
£14.6M

The financing will support international expansion and development of the Deltaflow operating system.

"For a quantum ecosystem to thrive, we urgently need an operating system. An operating system makes quantum computers useful – it allows programs and applications to run on many different machines. Riverlane aims to make our operating system Deltaflow a global standard."
— Steve Brierley, Founder & CEO
