DataVita operates and develops data center campus assets in the UK, including DV1 (operated since 2016) and a smaller DV2 site in Glasgow offering 130 racks across 1,000 sqm. The company acquired DV1 in 2021 with £45m of owner support and was built originally by HFD Group in 2021. It is expanding DV1 and building a new DV3 facility in the North Lanarkshire AI Growth Zone, with all capacity from both buildings contracted to CoreWeave under a 15-year lease. Last year CoreWeave announced deployments of Nvidia GPUs into DataVita data centers, and management states the first facility from the current program is due to complete this year.

The Protein Brewery makes Fermotein, a mycelium-derived mycoprotein powder produced via non-sterile biomass fermentation of a Rhizomucor pusillus strain. The company highlights that its strain cannot produce mycotoxins and that its high-temperature, low-pH, non-sterile process yields lower capital and operating costs versus other fermentation approaches. It plans to supply about 600 metric tons from its demo-scale factory in Breda in 2027 and scale production capacity to more than 2,000 tons by 2029. The firm is pursuing commercial traction in Europe, Singapore and the U.S., with sales push into Europe planned for Q3 and first U.S. products expected in late 2026. The Protein Brewery is funding human clinical studies, including a large study with Wageningen University on biomarkers of aging in Q1 2027, and is updating regulatory submissions globally while addressing FDA feedback on its GRAS filing.

VARM operates a “Cloud Installer” model that recruits and trains career changers—including former logistics and retail workers—to become certified insulation specialists within weeks. The company organizes regional teams, manages quality control in-house and provides customers fixed-price quotes, claiming a standard single-family home can be insulated in around six hours. VARM was founded by Christian Grüner, a former Siemens Advanta executive, and Sebastian Würz, co-founder of housing platform Homefully. The startup says its approach addresses a major qualified-worker shortage that limits large-scale energy-efficiency upgrades across Europe. With the Series A funding, VARM plans to expand its operations and further scale its workforce model to support growing demand for insulation projects.
