  • Milvus Advanced

    Led · Seed · Oct 2025

    Milvus Advanced is an Oxford-based deep-tech startup that designs nanoalloy materials capable of matching or exceeding the properties of platinum-group and other critical metals. Its proprietary, independently validated alloys offer superior durability and performance in electrochemical and optoelectronic systems while relying only on abundant elements. Operating on a B2B model, the company targets sectors such as clean energy, transport, chemical manufacturing and electronics, where cost, performance and sustainability intersect. By removing dependence on geopolitically fragile and expensive raw materials, Milvus aims to stabilize supply chains and lower environmental impact. Early pilots are underway with global electrolyser OEMs and chemical manufacturers, showing initial commercial traction. Armed with fresh capital, the firm intends to scale production, grow its team, enter the U.S. market for manufacturing and partnerships, and expand R&D into additional material systems.

    Founded in 2021 by Alexandros Pantalis and Adèle James, Phagos engineers bacteriophage (phage) treatments through a proprietary platform that combines microbiology with artificial intelligence. Its patented AI analyses complete phage and bacterial genomes to predict interactions and design precise, adaptable therapies as pathogens evolve. The company’s first commercial focus is veterinary medicine, where it has already secured regulatory authorisation to market personalised phage-based treatments aimed at reducing antibiotic use in livestock.
