- Tangible
Participated · Seed · Feb 2026
Tangible’s core offering standardises the data, documentation and ongoing reporting that lenders require, allowing robotics, climate, mobility and data-centre startups to obtain asset-backed debt more quickly and cheaply. Its AI-driven workflows and in-house finance experts cut underwriting time and cost for a network of private credit funds, hedge funds, equipment financiers and traditional banks. By replacing bespoke, manual processes, the platform lets founders run sophisticated debt facilities without building an internal structured-finance team. Tangible currently employs 13 people. The company intends to use its new capital to expand headcount and develop additional products that further streamline debt fundraising. Including this round, Tangible has raised roughly $9.8 million in external funding when combined with the £4 million ($5.45 million) round it closed in 2023. Management believes modern infrastructure is essential for scaling hardtech finance as institutional investors look for faster, lower-friction deployment mechanisms.
- Allonic
Participated · Seed · Feb 2026
Founded in 2021 and based in Budapest, Allonic is a robotics hardware company pioneering a proprietary 3D Tissue Braiding process that weaves soft-tissue-like fibres around skeletal cores to create fully integrated robotic limbs and bodies in a single automated step. By replacing assembly-heavy designs with continuous fabrication, the platform removes supply-chain complexity and cuts iteration cycles from weeks to minutes, allowing users to design, build and replace manipulators on demand. The system can embed multiple materials—including elastics, wiring and sensors—directly into the structure, producing safer, more compliant and customisable robots at lower cost. Allonic has already completed its first pilot in electronics manufacturing after unveiling the technology in May 2025, demonstrating applicability where traditional industrial robots fall short. The company plans to use new capital to accelerate platform development, grow its engineering and operations teams, and run further pilots and early commercial deployments with industrial partners. Its €6 million pre-Seed round is the largest such financing recorded in Hungary to date, underscoring investor conviction in its infrastructure-level approach to robotics. While no revenue figures have been disclosed, the early traction positions Allonic to address a growing gap between advanced AI control software and legacy hardware manufacturing.
- Hyperdrives
Participated · Seed · Sep 2025
Hyperdrives develops hollow-conductor cooling for electric motors to achieve higher current density, enabling lighter, smaller, more efficient drives with a strong performance-to-cost advantage. The company supplies turnkey drive systems with integrated SiC inverters and partners with OEMs and Tier‑1s on industrialisation and manufacturing-technology licensing. Over three product generations it has focused on delivering motors that scale using existing production processes rather than exotic materials or novel layouts. Hyperdrives targets automotive, aerospace, and marine applications and emphasizes manufacturability for industrial-scale production. The company generated over €1 million in revenue in 2024 without any external funding. Using the new financing it plans to expand the team, validate lifetime durability to automotive standards, convert its customer pipeline into commercial projects, and prepare manufacturing for industrial rollout.
- Crosstown H2R
Participated · Seed · Jul 2025
Crosstown develops the proprietary H2R® Burner that allows existing gas turbines to operate on 100% renewable fuels and provides multi-fuel, transitional capability from natural gas to zero‑carbon fuels. The technology immediately cuts NOx emissions by up to 85% and can enable complete elimination of CO₂ from a turbine, with a single 100MW turbine fitted able to eliminate over 300,000 tons of CO₂ annually. Crosstown says its burner is faster and cheaper to install than full turbine replacements, repurposing existing infrastructure and helping avoid stranded assets. The company already works with major industry players such as Sulzer and Fortum and has won a European Patent Office patent for the burner in March 2025. With fresh funding, Crosstown plans to accelerate rollout of the H2R® Burner, expand its product portfolio across additional turbine platforms (including Rolls‑Royce, GE, Siemens, ABB) and establish further sales partnerships with ISPs and OEMs. The company is also growing its expert team at its headquarters in Switzerland to support commercialization and wider deployment. Founded in 2022 in Switzerland, Crosstown H2R develops the proprietary Crosstown Burner (H2R®) to convert gas turbines to run on hydrogen or other low-/zero-carbon fuels, eliminating CO2 emissions from those turbines. The burner is designed for ultra-low NOx capability to meet forthcoming 2025 NOx regulations in Europe and the US. The company has tested its newest generation of burners and plans installations in Sulzer's and Fortum's turbines beginning in 2024. Partnership with Sulzer provides access to over 3,500 new and existing gas-fired turbines in Europe and tens of thousands more worldwide; Fortum customers can use the burner to reduce greenhouse gas emissions by half by 2030. Crosstown highlights the scale of the opportunity by noting a single 100 MW gas turbine can emit around 300,000 tons of CO2 annually at 50% capacity. The company has secured funding and partnerships to accelerate commercialization and deployment.
