  • Seat Unique

    Participated · Equity · Jun 2026

    Seat Unique operates a premium ticketing and hospitality platform that markets original ticketing inventory and provides hospitality and travel packages for rights-holders, venues, artists, sports teams and fans. The company has expanded via acquisitions including P1 Travel and Circuit Hospitality to broaden its capabilities and relationships, notably with venues such as Wembley Stadium, Manchester's Co-op Live and the 16 racecourses run by Arena Racing. Circuit Hospitality strengthened its foothold in Premier League football through agreements with Arsenal and Everton, and Seat Unique has been involved in high-profile events such as former US President Barack Obama's speaking tour. The business is run by co-founder Robin Sherry and chaired by Richard Flint. Seat Unique said it is on course to record £175m in sales this year and aims to double that over the next three years. It is pursuing further acquisitions and international expansion as part of a strategy to scale toward an ambition of a £500m-plus business valuation.

  • Huskeys

    Participated · Seed · Mar 2026

    Huskeys offers the industry’s first patent-pending Edge Security Management (ESM) platform that integrates an agentic intelligence layer across CDN-WAF-infrastructure-application flows. The platform sits on top of existing multi-cloud and multi-WAF environments with a plug-and-play deployment model and abstracts provider-specific syntax while enriching rules and policies with organizational context. Its AI engine continuously assesses, adapts, and orchestrates rules, policies, and configurations to optimize both security and business outcomes. Huskeys positions itself to reduce false positives and restore revenue lost to overly aggressive WAF rules; a cited customer case study describes eliminating false positives and restoring millions in revenue within hours. The company launched from stealth in 2025 and was founded by Itai Gafni (CEO) and Roy Weisfeld (CTO), both Unit 8200 alumni. Early enterprise customers named in the launch include TikTok, Merlin Entertainments, and Hugging Face.

  • Fundamento

    Participated · Series A · Oct 2025

    Founded in 2020 by Ankit Durga, Megha Aggarwal, and Vickram Saigal, Fundamento has built a multi-agentic AI platform that serves as a strategic engagement layer for financial institutions. Its technology automates borrower profiling, debt collections, upselling, and other lending-lifecycle touchpoints, improving operational efficiency and customer experience for banks, NBFCs, and digital lenders. The company combines domain expertise in credit with conversational and decisioning AI to deliver personalized, data-driven borrower journeys. Fundamento plans to deepen vertical solutions within India’s BFSI market over the next year while expanding into the US and APAC, where digital lending and collections present sizable opportunities. The newly raised capital will be used to enhance the platform’s agentic capabilities and accelerate go-to-market efforts with marquee enterprise customers. To date, the startup has secured at least $3.46 million in external funding across seed and pre-Series A rounds.
