- Myriad Wind
Participated · Seed · Dec 2025
Myriad Wind Energy Systems has created a crane-free wind energy platform that mounts multiple small rotors in a modular framework, removing the need for heavy lifting equipment and costly access roads. This design lowers capital costs, shortens installation downtime and makes small-scale wind viable where conventional turbines struggle. Founded in 2021 and based in Stirling, the company holds two granted patents and has secured several letters of intent from prospective customers. Management is led by CEO Adam Harris alongside CTO Paul Pirrie and COO Peter Taylor. A 50 kW prototype is planned for installation in 2026, after which Myriad intends to run commercial pilots and launch the product broadly. With fresh funding, the firm will expand its engineering and commercial teams and establish manufacturing and supply-chain partnerships. Myriad positions its technology as a year-round complement to solar power, particularly for rural businesses facing high winter energy costs.
- Siloton
Led · Seed · Dec 2023
Siloton has developed an at-home diagnostic imaging device that combines next-generation photonic hardware with cloud-based digital health tools to enable clinician-grade monitoring outside clinic settings. At the core of the product is a photonic integrated circuit (PIC) that compresses large, expensive and fragile optical components onto a single piece of material smaller than a £1 coin. The company is targeting the roughly 25% of over-60s affected by age-related macular degeneration, aiming to reduce treatment burden and help patients retain sight for longer. Siloton was recently named one of the top photonics startups in Europe (Sifted). The company plans to use new funding to accelerate development and deployment of its core product both at home and abroad. Investors and the company say the technology could reduce pressure on healthcare systems and has the potential to save the NHS around half a billion pounds each year.
