PopUp Painting (PUP) is an art company that aims to be the leader in organising experiential social painting events in the UK. The company endeavours to bring art out of the classroom and gallery into the places people meet on an everyday basis, thereby, unleashing creativity. PUP has hosted over 45,000 guests to date. Total revenues to date are £1.1 million. In the last financial year, the company generated revenues of £373,000. The COVID-19 pandemic in March led to PUP launching its online art sessions which was met with positive feedback. The company resumed hosting in-person COVID-secure events from July 2020 onwards. PUP is seeking £175,000 at a pre-money valuation of £1.3 million to launch its own Central London experiential events space and to expand its current services to reach a new product market.

Caldera is a heat battery company that seeks to institutionalise zero-carbon energy solutions for the masses. It asserts that its 'Zero Carbon Boiler' is a direct replacement to an oil or gas boiler by providing low-cost renewable electricity as heat for later use on demand by the homeowner. The company asserts that the boiler consists of two elements. The first is Caldera's proprietary 'Warmstone Heat Battery' that can be charged by low-cost electricity from the grid, store that electricity for 24 hours and provide it on demand. The second is a 'Heat Interface Unit' (HIU) that replaces the existing boiler. Caldera believes that low electricity prices always tend to occur when the source of electricity is also low carbon. It will use the investment to grow its business across different verticals.
