Our portfolio's latest funding announcements
Doccla raises $46M Series B for Expansion
Since our Seed investment in 2021, the London-based healthtech has become the leading provider of virtual ward and remote patient monitoring services to the UK’s National Health Service (NHS): allowing patients to be discharged from hospital and recover at home.
Doccla's end-to-end solution includes virtual care, software and hardware, logistics, and a comprehensive support layer to enhance operational efficiencies. The technology enables 24/7 monitoring across 40 pathways, allowing medical staff to access patient data in real-time and pre-emptively flag concerning signals, triggering in-person appointments before issues escalate.
With a 100% client retention rate in the UK and $46M in Series B funding, Doccla is now expanding to Ireland, Germany, and France.

Welcome to the Family
People use mobile apps on the train, in restaurants, and even in the bathroom. But the lack of an app's ability to understand user context leads to missed opportunities for personalized user experiences.
Vienna-based ContextSDK is changing the game by using cutting-edge machine learning executed directly on a device (Edge AI) to interpret some +200 signals automatically collected from modern smartphones – making truly personalized experiences without personally identifiable information possible.

Our Perspective
Sector-focused expertise and insights on the VC ecosystem at large
Moove was recented named ‘Deal of the Year’ by LPs at the annual Africa Venture Finance program at the University of Oxford.
