SatVu is a UK-based thermal Earth-observation company that captures 3.5-metre resolution infrared imagery day and night to provide intelligence on buildings, industrial sites, and other strategic assets. Its data helps government, defence, and industrial customers detect heat signatures linked to operational changes, assess readiness, and monitor climate-related emissions. The company currently operates a single demonstration satellite but is transitioning to a multi-satellite constellation; two new satellites are slated for launch in 2026 and a further three are already under contract. This expanded fleet will boost revisit frequency, enabling near-continuous monitoring of global activity. Beyond defence, SatVu’s imagery supports sectors such as steel, cement, data centres, oil & gas, and solar energy. Following the latest raise, SatVu has secured £60 million in total equity funding to date, providing capital for constellation build-out and commercial scaling.

Neural Magic builds a software platform for deep learning inference that delivers GPU‑class performance on commodity CPU hardware. The company develops algorithms and tools that place software, rather than specialized hardware, at the center of ML infrastructure. Spun out of MIT by founders Nir Shavit and Alexander Matveev and led by CEO Brian Stevens, Neural Magic open‑sourced its machine learning tools earlier this year and has seen growing adoption. The company intends to use new funds to expand operations and business reach and to advance its leadership in pure‑software machine learning acceleration. Neural Magic is based in Somerville, Massachusetts. After the Series A, the company has raised $50M to date. Neural Magic builds an inference engine that lets data scientists run deep learning models on commodity CPUs rather than specialized accelerators like GPUs or TPUs. The company announced early access to this first product, designed to run in containerized, microservices environments. Founders Nir Shavit and Alex Mateev developed the approach from lab work on neurobiology data at MIT. Neural Magic says its software can deliver GPU-like speeds on CPUs, reduce costs, and eliminate memory limitations imposed by accelerators. The startup raised a $15 million seed round led by Comcast Ventures, bringing total funding to $20 million after a prior $5 million pre-seed. Seed investors included NEA, Andreessen Horowitz, Pillar VC and Amdocs.
