  • Hair Up Laser

    Participated · Equity · Nov 2025

    Hair Up Laser designs and develops a medical device that uses photobiomodulation to curb the effects of androgenic alopecia, the most common form of hair loss in both men and women. The company positions its technology as a non-invasive alternative aimed at restoring patients’ hair and self-esteem, with particular emphasis on the emotional impact of alopecia on women. Fresh capital will finance a clinical trial at Hospital Sant Pau in Barcelona and complete regulatory work to meet European medical-device standards. The trial already has ethics-committee approval and is awaiting authorization from the Spanish Agency of Medicines and Medical Devices, with completion targeted for the first half of 2026. Upon successful trials, Hair Up Laser intends to secure CE marking and launch the device across Europe. The startup operates in a global hair-loss treatment market estimated at $10 billion annually, where 2.2 million people seek surgical or non-surgical solutions each year. The recent €880 k fundraise combines private investment and public support to advance the company toward commercialization.

  • Orbital Paradigm

    Participated · Seed · Sep 2025

    Orbital Paradigm is developing reusable reentry capsules to enable repeated orbital return missions for customers seeking microgravity test cycles. In less than two years the nine-person team built a test vehicle called KID (about 25 kg and roughly 16 inches across) with no propulsion. KID is a deliberately minimal, non-recoverable demonstration designed to separate from a rocket, transmit data from orbit, survive hypersonic reentry heating and ping home before impact. The company plans a second mission in 2026 featuring a scaled-down Kestrel with propulsion and a parachute to enable recovery in the Azores. Target customers include institutions and startups in biotech and materials that require multiple flights per year; initial KID customers named in the articles are Alatyr and Leibniz University Hannover plus a third unnamed customer. To date Orbital Paradigm has raised €1.5 million in seed funding from Id4, Demium, Pinama, Evercurious and Akka, and built KID with less than €1 million of internal spend.

  • The Sampling Solutions

    The Sampling Solutions (TSS) is a startup offering outsourced accredited on-site sampling, measurements, inspections and audits to laboratories and other clients. Founded in 2020, TSS became the first non-laboratory in Europe accredited under ISO 17025 for sampling and in-situ measurements, enabling it to deliver accredited samples to any laboratory. Its core product couples a distributed network of more than 300 qualified samplers across Spain with a digital MVP that has digitized over 20,000 operations, geolocating points, attaching photos/videos and metadata, and cutting information delivery from 24 hours to minutes. TSS is developing a multi-device SaaS to standardize and manage field operations end-to-end; planned features include a Learning Center, intra-company service communities and additional automation. Financially, the company reports revenue has grown fivefold this year and it has opened a financing round of up to €600,000, with about 31% already committed primarily by original investors. Founders Eli Bosch (CEO) and Carlos Arias (CBO/International Development - R&D Director) emphasize digitalization as the central differentiation while maintaining the accredited field-service business. The Sampling Solutions (TSS) offers an end-to-end digital platform and operational service that externalizes, digitizes and provides full traceability for sample collection from request through delivery to laboratories. The company is accredited with the European ISO 17.025 standard, making it the first independent non-laboratory entity in Europe with that official recognition. TSS serves customers in environment, agro-food and veterinary sectors and plans near-term expansion into industrial, wellness-health and big data use cases while incorporating AI for demand prediction, route and resource optimization, contamination detection and early outbreak prediction. Operational metrics include a network of more than 250 samplers, over 5,000 samplings performed, a client base of more than 21 customers, and reported reductions in sampling management costs of up to 25%. The service has reduced typical response times from five days to 72 hours and emphasizes traceability and reduced manual-record errors through real-time digital records. The Sampling Solutions provides professional sample-collection services for the environmental, agri-food and hospital sectors. The company operates a platform and partners with laboratories including Control Microbiológico Bilacon (Tentamus group), PremiumLab and Quimlab to process samples. Its clients include Aquona Gestión de Aguas de Castilla (Suez group) and Global Omnium–Gamaser, and recent customer agreements have expanded its national operations. Founded in 2019 by Eli Bosch and based in Barcelona, the firm closed its first funding round of €260,000 to support growth. The proceeds will be used to accelerate platform development, strengthen the team and expand commercial efforts. The company is also pursuing ISO 17025 accreditation for testing drinking water, wastewater and treated waters and for in-situ measurements of pH, conductivity and temperature.
