- Rightbrain AI
Participated · Equity · May 2026
Rightbrain AI builds an AI operating layer centered on a primitive called Tasks—API calls with pre-configured instructions that accept dynamic variables and return structured outputs. The platform adds multi-model routing, retrieval-augmented generation (RAG)/grounding, audit logs, and version control so prompts behave like production code. Beyond single tasks, Rightbrain provides orchestration for agents that run complex workflows, native connections to external tools and systems, and a focus on telemetry and evals to monitor agent behavior across runs. The company emphasizes helping businesses embed agents across core workflows and enabling lean technical teams to deploy AI faster and safer. The recent £3m seed raise is intended to accelerate continued shipping and product development to keep customers ahead.
- Casavo
Participated · Equity · Apr 2026
Casavo operates a technology-driven real estate platform known for its Instant/Immediate Offer service that enables rapid home sales, and it combines proprietary technology with a direct network of agents. The company already operates in multiple European markets, including Italy and France, and currently has a network of around 200 agents. Casavo is pursuing both organic growth and roll-up acquisitions to expand its geographic reach, exemplified by its acquisition of Casando Agency, which adds over 60 agents in top Italian cities. Management plans to double the agent network to more than 400 and enter 20 new urban areas by 2026 as part of a broader 2026–2030 plan. The Immediate Offer service will be revamped in 2025 to generate returns for property investors, and Casavo targets revenues of over €50 million by 2030. The recent capital increase of over €12 million is intended to support these expansion and product initiatives.

Solidatus offers a data lineage and governance platform that lets organisations visualise the journey of data from source through every transformation to end use, creating an auditable ‘digital blueprint’ of enterprise data.
