  • Neuronostics

    Participated · Equity · Jun 2026

    Neuronostics develops BioEP, a clinically validated digital biomarker platform that analyses standard EEG recordings using eight predefined computational biomarkers and produces a report in under five minutes. The platform is UKCA-marked and ISO-13485 certified and has been validated across 15 NHS sites with over 1,000 recordings. NHS service evaluations are underway at multiple Trusts, including The Royal Wolverhampton NHS Trust and University Hospitals Dorset, and the company has a strategic partnership with Stratus to support scalable US deployment. Neuronostics plans to pursue FDA clearance (with a submission planned for 2026) and to extend the platform to provide brain fingerprints of treatment response in pharmaceutical trials. The company highlights clinical needs such as long diagnostic wait times, high misdiagnosis rates, and the high rate of inconclusive routine EEGs as drivers for its adoption.

  • Luna Pet Healthcare

    Participated · Equity · May 2026

  • EnsiliTech

    Participated · Seed · Aug 2025

    EnsiliTech’s patented Ensilication technology applies tiny inorganic silica layers to individual biological molecules, creating protective cages that keep vaccines, antibodies and other biopharmaceuticals stable outside the cold chain and able to withstand temperatures up to 50°C. The silica coating is biocompatible, inert and inexpensive; when a product is ready for use the cage breaks away leaving the active ingredient intact. The company positions this platform as a way to eliminate expensive, energy-intensive refrigeration in transport and storage, reduce drug waste and broaden access—particularly in regions where reliable cold-chain infrastructure is lacking. EnsiliTech reports early technical efficacy, in vivo safety validation and live commercial negotiations with billion-euro pharma partners, indicating growing commercial momentum. The team is predominantly female-led across leadership and R&D, an attribute that attracted investors focused on female-led businesses. The recent financing will support expansion of capacity, new hires, upgraded infrastructure and critical validation studies to embed Ensilication into pharmaceutical manufacturing processes. EnsiliTech has developed a patented platform technology called ensilication that can be applied to existing and new biopharmaceuticals to make them safe and stable at room temperatures. The technology preserves the integrity of vaccines and other biological materials across a wide temperature range (−20°C to +80°C). The company intends to use recently raised funds to develop a refrigeration-free approach to transporting vaccines and other materials. Ensilication aims to improve vaccine and biological-material distribution in developing countries where reliable refrigeration is a barrier to healthcare. The platform could also enable more rapid and safe distribution of Covid-19 vaccines to communities in need. EnsiliTech is led by Co‑founder and CEO Dr. Asel Sartbaeva and CTO Dr. Aswin Doekhie.

Intelligent AI builds a cloud-based intelligent risk platform that creates digital twins of physical properties to map and quantify risk for insurers. The platform analyzes more than 300 data points, including satellite imagery, to generate accurate property risk data without costly onsite surveys. Its product is aimed at helping insurers write policy terms and predict risk on commercial properties more accurately. The company is part of the Innovate UK–funded KnowRisk Consortium, linking insurance, supply chain and audit risk for a 360-degree enterprise view.
