  • NVision Imaging Technologies

    Participated · Series B · May 2026

    Founded in 2015 and led by CEO Sella Brosh, NVision develops quantum-enabled healthcare technologies based on engineering and controlling quantum properties of organic molecules. Its POLARIS platform enables real-time measurement of metabolism on standard MRI systems, and its Photonic Integrated Quantum Circuits (PIQC) platform supports its quantum computing efforts. The company raised $55M in a Series B (including a $17M EIB venture loan), bringing total funding to $120M. NVision plans to use the new funding to expand operations and further its development efforts. The firm positions its combined platforms to improve understanding of disease and support therapeutic development. Financially, the recent round added both equity and debt capital to the company’s balance sheet.

  • Ventory

    Participated · Equity · May 2026

    Ventory builds inventory software that integrates natively with enterprise systems including SAP, Oracle, Microsoft Dynamics 365 Business Central and Sage to track stock across service vans, depots, consignment inventory and customer sites. The platform replaces manual, spreadsheet- and paper-based workflows to give companies real-time visibility once inventory leaves the warehouse. Ventory is ISO/IEC 27001 certified and is used by organisations across seven countries, including healthcare providers, medical distributors, energy producers, asset managers, a national railway operator and a medical robotics manufacturer. The company was founded by Vishal Punamiya. Its near-term plans include expanding ERP integrations, advancing its AI product roadmap and growing its enterprise go-to-market presence in Western Europe. The article does not disclose revenue, users, or valuation.

  • LiveEO

    Participated · Equity · May 2026

    LiveEO develops satellite-based monitoring systems and analytics to track risks along linear infrastructure corridors, including pipelines, railways, and power lines. Its Twinspector project is a dual-satellite constellation designed to capture high-resolution and three-dimensional imagery tailored to long, narrow infrastructure routes. The company intends Twinspector data to integrate with its existing analytics platforms to help operators detect threats like unauthorized construction, excavation, and vegetation encroachment earlier. LiveEO is developing the system with European partners and positions the project as part of expanding commercial Earth observation capabilities for infrastructure monitoring. The company’s current disclosed financing activity includes ESA program funding through the InCubed program to support Twinspector’s development.

  • Firecell

    Led · Equity · Feb 2026

    Firecell, now merged with fellow 5G specialist Accelleran, offers a single-stack private 5G solution that combines Firecell’s core network and network-management software with Accelleran’s programmable RAN, management and AI capabilities. The platform supports all FDD and TDD spectrum bands, delivers sub-millisecond latency for thousands of concurrent IoT devices, enables network slicing and mission-critical voice services, and integrates AI-driven optimisation through xApps and rApps. Designed and developed entirely in Europe, the software can be deployed on-premise to guarantee data sovereignty for ports, factories, defence sites and logistics facilities. The combined company will operate under the Firecell brand, doubling its engineering and commercial footprint with teams across France, Belgium, the UK, Germany and Poland, and active deployments in Europe, the U.S. and Asia. Management believes the unified, hardware-agnostic stack will simplify multi-site private 5G roll-outs for system integrators and accelerate industrial autonomy. The merger is supported by a €7.9 million investment round from existing backers, providing fresh capital for product integration and market expansion.

  • equal1

    Participated · Equity · Jan 2026

    Equal1 positions itself as a “quantum semiconductor company,” building quantum processors on conventional CMOS processes so they can be fabricated in existing foundries and deployed without dilution refrigerators or specialized facilities. Its flagship product, Bell-1, is a rack-mounted quantum server designed to slide into standard data-center infrastructure and is already shipping to customers, including an installation planned for the European Space Agency’s Space HPC Center in Italy. The company’s UnityQ processor family follows a quantum-system-on-chip approach that integrates quantum and classical components on a single piece of silicon to cut cost, size, and complexity. Equal1 argues that this architecture will help alleviate power and cost constraints facing classical computing as AI workloads grow. Proceeds from the latest financing will fund broader deployments across high-performance computing centers, increase on-chip qubit counts, scale manufacturing through foundry partners, and expand headcount. Including the new raise, Equal1 has secured more than $85 million in total funding to date.
