Loxa is building an insurance marketplace and positions itself around values and sustainability in how it raises capital and selects investors. The team continued operating and selling through the fundraising process, and the company secured a Seed round to support product development, hiring, and growth. Leadership activity during the raise included Erjon joining the business mid-raise, which the company framed as an important signal to the market. Founders and team demonstrated commitment by investing over £700k into the round themselves. Loxa has set ambitious goals for 2026 and described the recent fundraising as the beginning of a longer journey rather than an endpoint.

Sporta is building what it positions as the world’s first AI-native bank tailored to the £100 billion UK sport, leisure and wellbeing economy, which includes 43 million participants but currently lacks sector-specific financial infrastructure. The company is developing proprietary banking technology and intends to pursue full UK regulatory approval, submitting its banking-licence application and building an MVP during 2026 with the goal of obtaining the licence in Q3 2026. Sporta emphasises deep community involvement, allowing athletes, clubs and fans to become early shareholders via crowdfunding alongside traditional institutional funding. Management reports that the company’s valuation has risen 75 % since its initial seed close, reflecting progress in technology development, talent recruitment and regulatory preparation. Longer term, Sporta plans to return to both institutional and community investors for a Series A once its licence is secured. The bank ultimately aims to “power sport, leisure and wellbeing” by offering products designed around the unique financial needs of this ecosystem.
