What happened

The equity half of a GBP 4m package. TSP Ventures and the GMCA Investment Fund are described by trade press as co-leading. The debt half is recorded separately. No company release exists; the account is an investor-party page.

Kumo note

A late seed split evenly between equity and debt, with the debt half provided by a UK government lender rather than a bank, and public money dominating the equity half too.
