Six rounds, two keep the number back
Six rounds.
Two keep the number back.
Six European rounds from the first week of November, five in the UK and one in Sweden. Four name an amount. Nayara gives none, and Potential Sciences says only that it is eight figures.
- VIRIDI, Southampton: £2.2M, led by Odyssey Ventures, with TOP Ventures, the corporate investment arm of Thaioil, Alphatron Impact Ventures and existing angels. Viridi develops a catalyst that helps factories turn captured CO2 into materials for detergents, cosmetics and adhesives, starting with CO2-based surfactants. The money goes into the technology, the team and expansion in Asia and the US.
- Crediflow AI, Manchester: €1.8M (£1.5M), led by NPIF II - PXN Equity Finance, managed by PXN Ventures as part of the Northern Powerhouse Investment Fund II. Crediflow's FlowSpread tool pulls figures out of PDFs, tax returns and bank statements to speed up commercial loan processing for banks and specialist lenders. The company was founded in 2024.
- Nayara.ai, UK: undisclosed pre-seed, led by SFC Capital. Nayara builds AI companions that support patients between appointments, answering routine questions, checking in and flagging concerns to the care team. According to the company, its breast cancer companion has supported hundreds of people. The money goes into product development, clinical validation and commercial expansion.
- Mindmax, London: $3.3M (£2.5M) pre-seed, led by Concept Ventures, with Redrice Ventures, Daybreak and Lerer Hippeau. Angels include Maria Raga, former CEO of Depop, and Torsten Reil, co-founder of Helsing. Mindmax is an AI tutor that teaches through live voice conversation, starting with professional exam preparation. Its founders are Ed Cooke, who co-founded Memrise, and Daniel Zohar, formerly its CTO.
- Potential Sciences, UK: seed round of eight figures in capital and compute, according to the company, exact amount not disclosed. Backers include the UK government's Sovereign AI fund, which also provides compute, Twin Path Ventures, Odyssey Ventures and Portfolio Ventures, with angels including Patrick Collison. Potential Sciences trains AI models for chemistry on physics simulations instead of past lab experiments, and says this could make the calculations 100 times cheaper. It was founded in late 2025 by Hatem Helal, a former Graphcore executive.
- Green Voltis, Stockholm: €13.5M Series A, led by Lochpine Capital. Green Voltis runs and trades battery storage across European power markets with AI. It says more than 1.2 GWh is under contract and in operation. The money goes into R&D, growth in key European markets and its Power-to-Compute product for data centres.
Of the four that name an amount, three are under £3M. The fourth, Green Voltis, is the only round in the set labelled a Series A.
