🇬🇧 has a world-class start-up tech ecosystem & I want to see more incredible British innovation deployed here at home, including in our public sector.
Very good to hear direct from start-up founders & leaders at @StartupCltn’s roundtable. Thank you to @dawncapital for hosting!
New look, same obsession...
Backing the early risers. The restless. Teams who feel compelled to build something worthwhile. Who wake up each and every day determined to make a dent in the world.
Good morning everyone 😊
Bondaval co-founder Tom Powell is in @thetimes today, talking about his journey from England sevens captain to reshaping the way credit teams manage risk globally. Link below 👇
"Defenders think in lists, attackers think in graphs. And that's really at the core of how we operate philosophy."
@BryanOnel86, @oneleet unpicks the fundamental difference between defender & attacker mindsets in cybersecurity.
"When you think about locking your door, what you're really thinking about is, 'Oh, we don't want somebody to get in right.' But the problem is that if you do manage to circumvent a security measure, you'll be able to get a lot deeper."
"If you think in graphs, you tend to think more in the sense of, 'Okay, so what happens if somebody does come in?' You start to think about security in layers."
Today we’re announcing our $50M Series A!
Over the last year, we’ve grown from a small group with a big idea into a platform powering AI for hundreds of millions of end users across image, video, audio, and more. Since Q3, we’ve grown revenue by 10x, placing Runware comfortably among the fastest growing companies in the world. 🚀
When Runware started, the mission was simple: build the fastest and most reliable multimodal inference platform on the planet and make it accessible to everyone. We built our own Sonic Inference Engine, our own GPU infrastructure, our own inference pods, and a set of optimizations that push the limits of what an AI provider can do at scale.
2026 will be the year we bring inference closer to users than ever. We’re deploying more than twenty Runware Inference Pods across major cities in Europe and the US, delivering sub-10ms latency AI. And we’re extending Runware to support every model on Hugging Face, running them faster, cheaper, and more reliably than anyone else.
A special thank you to @dawncapital for leading this round, alongside @speedinvest@ComcastVentures@insightpartners@speedrun@ZeroPrimeVC@_AlexMenn at Begin Capital and all our early backers who supported us long before Runware looked like it does today.
👏 Huge congrats to @flatpay on hitting unicorn status in just 3 years! 🚀 The Danish fintech now valued at $1.7B after its latest funding round.
Shoutout to @dawncapital for backing another European success story.
