- Calori
Participated · Seed · May 2026
Calori is focused on answering what a person needs to eat to be the healthiest version of themselves by combining personal data, scientific insights and real-world behavior. The company intends to build infrastructure that enables precision nutrition rather than guesswork. In early 2026 Calori raised a €1M pre-seed round led by Wave Ventures, with participation from Karaoke Club, Joyance Partners, Korpun Siemen Oy, angel investors from ŌURA, Wolt and AMD Silo AI, plus growth funding from Nordea. The funding is earmarked to continue product and infrastructure development. The announcement did not disclose revenue, user metrics, prior funding rounds or company valuation.
- Arkyv
Participated · Seed · Apr 2026
Arkyv builds AI-first software aimed at automating manual, rule-based tasks faced by architects and BIM engineers and embedding action directly into their workflows. The product has been developed alongside leading Scandinavian architecture firms, which have helped shape its capabilities. The team announced plans to expand access by opening the platform globally following the pre-seed raise. Arkyv positions its technology to reduce tedious work so architects can focus on creative tasks. The company named several team members in its announcement and said the new funding will support continued product development and international rollout. No revenue, user, or prior funding metrics were disclosed in the announcement.
- TerraSpark
Participated · Seed · Mar 2026
TerraSpark is developing a phased approach to space-based solar power, starting with commercialisation of radio-frequency wireless energy transmission on Earth to validate safety, efficiency, and regulatory requirements. The company aims to scale from terrestrial wireless power for industrial use to orbital systems capable of delivering continuous energy independent of weather or time of day. TerraSpark cites declining launch costs and advances in satellite manufacturing and orbital robotics as enablers for its roadmap. Near-term plans include pilot applications and live demonstration use cases, an orbital technology demonstrator targeted for 2027, and initial space-to-Earth transmission in 2028. The team is led by CEO Jasper Deprez with CTO Sanjay Vijendran and COO Matthias Laug. Financially, the company has raised over €5 million in a pre-seed round to fund technology development and upcoming pilots.
- Newly
Participated · Equity · Mar 2026
Newly offers an AI-powered platform that combines agentic AI systems and mobile-native tooling to let teams create, iterate, and launch fully functional, App Store–ready native mobile applications without writing code. The company says its approach dramatically shortens development timelines, reducing them "from months to hours," and lowers the cost and complexity that have traditionally limited native app development. Led by founder and CEO Timothy Lindblom and based in Stockholm, Newly targets teams and founders who lack specialised mobile engineering resources. The startup plans to broaden its product scope beyond mobile to include desktop software, augmented reality experiences, and wearable applications. Newly has raised more than $2 million to date, with the latest round led by PSV Tech and participation from multiple venture and angel investors, and will use the new funds to advance its platform and expand into additional native formats.
- TaxNova
Participated · Seed · Feb 2026
TaxNova is a London-based startup that automates the labour-intensive process of claiming R&D tax credits for technology companies. Its AI-driven platform connects directly to tools such as GitHub, Jira, Linear, Slack and Notion to extract qualified R&D work, calculate eligible costs and generate audit-ready documentation. By creating an end-to-end audit trail that links every claim back to source data, the product reduces the claims timeline from months to weeks and frees engineering teams from reconstructing past work. The company positions itself as complementary to existing tax advisers and has already completed a partnership pilot with a top-5 R&D tax advisory firm. Founders George Nichkov (CEO) and Marya Malykh (CTO) bring backgrounds in consulting and computer engineering. TaxNova estimates that 75% of current claim preparation time is spent on data collection, a bottleneck it seeks to remove and unlock billions of pounds in unclaimed credits. The startup has emerged from stealth with $1m in pre-seed financing to accelerate its development and deployment.
