  • Tsuga

    Led · Series A · Jun 2026

    Tsuga builds an observability platform that runs directly in customers' cloud accounts (AWS, Azure, Google Cloud and regional sovereign clouds) so telemetry data stays inside the customer's environment rather than being routed through a vendor. The company offers a single billing rate per gigabyte, claims to provide unsampled, end-to-end traces (including AI agent traces, prompt and token details, confidence scores, and agent call graphs), and assists customers in optimizing setups to reduce data usage. Founded in 2024 by Gabriel-James Safar and Sébastien Deprez (who previously sold Madumbo to Datadog), Tsuga exited stealth and within six months reported several million dollars in revenue and secured enterprise customers such as Le Monde, Camunda, Buk, and Black Forest Labs, with average contract values in the six figures. Tsuga's product targets cost and data-sovereignty challenges in modern AI-heavy workloads by keeping data inside clients' security perimeters. The company plans to use recent funding to expand its business and speed development of its AI agent observability capabilities.

  • Apoha

    Led · Series A · Jun 2026

    Apoha's core product is VIBE® (Variations in Inter-facial Behaviour Under Excitation), an empirical readout that captures wave patterns from minute samples suspended in liquid and subjected to controlled stresses to produce over 1,000 measured descriptors of molecular behaviour. The company says a VIBE readout can resolve many properties simultaneously within minutes and has been applied across pharma, food and materials. Apoha reports commercial collaborations and validation with partners including Boehringer Ingelheim, Ethris, plant-based food company THIS, Somru BioSciences and multiple Fortune 500 customers. The underlying science dates to research begun in 2008 by CEO Shamit Shrivastava and the company was co-founded in 2021 with COO Anshika Srivastava. Apoha holds more than 60 patents and its foundational discovery has been cited in the scientific literature over 1,500 times. The company is positioning its platform as a data layer to improve prediction, reduce late-stage failures and accelerate product development across multiple industries.

  • Lucis

    Led · Series A · May 2026

    Founded in 2025, Lucis offers a preventive health platform that analyses more than 110 blood biomarkers and combines those results with longitudinal data and physician-reviewed AI insights to deliver personalised nutrition, supplementation, lifestyle, and follow-up testing recommendations. The company has grown rapidly to over 10,000 users across France, the UK, Ireland, and Portugal and has delivered more than one million biomarker tests. Early outcome data shows that among users who completed a six-month follow-up, 75% improved at least three biomarkers without medication, and more than 80% opted to retest; at initial testing 99.9% had at least one biomarker outside optimal ranges. Lucis operates with a team of about 20 employees, a medical board and a network of 10+ physicians providing clinical oversight. The company plans to expand into Spain, Germany, and Italy by the end of 2026 while continuing to invest in personalisation, longitudinal monitoring, and clinical safety.

  • Prelude

    Participated · Series A · May 2026

    Founded in 2023, Prelude began by helping companies with user SMS verification and has evolved into a full-stack digital onboarding platform. It combines telecom data, network signals and behavioural patterns into a single trust profile to enable continuous trust decisions across the user lifecycle. Prelude says its bundled stack — including a verification provider, fraud vendor, identity layer and device SDK — yields customers on average 40% savings on verification costs and improved conversion rates. The company has launched Auth API for continuous trust checks and Intel API for real-time intelligence such as SIM status and number reputation. Prelude employs about 50 people and has raised $27M to date following the $20M Series A. Its stated plans include expanding telecom partnerships globally and investing in machine-learning systems while scaling engineering, infrastructure and go-to-market teams.

  • Patronus Group

    Participated · Equity · Apr 2026

    Founded in 2020 and based in Berlin, Patronus builds a digital safety and companion solution for older adults centered on a smartwatch and a family mobile app. The wristwatch-style device provides mobile connectivity and a one-press connection to an emergency call centre, removing the need for dedicated home infrastructure. The companion app keeps family members informed and connected without intrusive monitoring. Patronus reports tens of thousands of users and higher daily usage rates than traditional emergency devices, and its platform has handled a substantial number of emergency responses. The company plans to scale across Europe and to expand product features, including development of an AI-powered companion and additional family-focused wellbeing capabilities.
