  • TidalSense

    Participated · Equity · Jul 2026

    TidalSense develops an AI-powered diagnostic test, N-Tidal Diagnose, that captures a CO₂ waveform via a handheld device during normal breathing and analyzes it with AI models. The test requires patients to breathe into the device for around 75 seconds and TidalSense says its models have been trained on more than 2.5 million patient breaths. The company states that tests can be performed in under five minutes and that clinicians can see four to six patients an hour versus roughly one per hour with traditional spirometry. TidalSense says any healthcare professional can be trained to use the device in about 10 minutes without specialist qualifications. It launched the test on the NHS last year and plans to scale rollout across the NHS, expand into Europe and enter the US market. The company is led by CEO Dr. Ameera Patel and was founded in 2013.

  • Mach42

    Participated · Series A · Jul 2026

    Mach42 leverages advanced machine learning to create high-accuracy surrogate models that accelerate analog and mixed-signal verification and integrate with industry-standard simulators. The company focuses initially on power management devices, where it says its models can reduce development time, lower computational costs, and improve design quality. Its technology can export models automatically in Verilog-A, SystemVerilog, and C/C++ formats for seamless integration into electronic design automation workflows. Mach42 plans to scale engineering and business development teams following its recent £7M pre-Series A raise to drive commercial adoption. The company highlights potential market opportunity across a wide analog chip market and cites existing investor support from BGF, Foresight Group and Parkwalk.

  • Luffy AI

    Led · Series A · Jul 2026

    Luffy AI builds a neuroplastic AI platform that uses sparse neural networks trained in simulation and refined during real-world operation to enable real-time adaptive control without relying on large datasets or continuous cloud retraining. The technology is initially deployed in industrial motor control and integrated with variable frequency drive (VFD) systems such as pumps, fans and conveyor systems. Luffy’s approach aims to improve energy efficiency, reduce commissioning time and optimise performance in physical systems. The company plans to expand into additional applications including robotics, drones and thermal process control. Luffy is commercialising its solutions through proof-of-concept projects and pilot deployments with industrial customers and will use new funding to convert those into long-term partnerships and scale rollout. Dr Matthew Carr is a co-founder and CEO and has framed the funding as enabling increased delivery and deployment efforts.

  • Gaussion

    Led · Equity · Jun 2026

    Founded in 2022 as a spinout from University College London and the Faraday Institution, Gaussion develops an external magnetic charging approach that can be retrofitted to existing lithium-ion battery packs. Its two main products are MagLiB, a magnetic printed circuit board add-on for packs, and Aeon, a control chip and software platform that together form a smart control layer. The company claims faster charging and extended battery lifespan without changing cell chemistry or design and supports 14 active commercial programs across automotive, aerospace, grid storage and consumer electronics. Gaussion has filed 66 patent applications in 17 families and reported about 19 employees as of June 2025. In October 2025 it moved into a 40,000-square-foot R&D facility in central London. The company positions itself to capture demand from AI data centres, electric vehicles and grid-scale storage as the battery management market grows.
