SortFlow's proprietary software solution intends to optimise the design and operation of waste recovery and recycling plants. The company argues that the UK, Europe and North America are expected to increase their recycling capacity over the next decade, which requires building more sorting and recycling facilities and maximising the amount of waste they can process. SortFlow claims its software can help the aforementioned parties save time, recycle more materials, and be more profitable. SortFlow released Version 1 of its software in October 2020, which is still being used in 5 countries by early adopter customers, including leading industry players such as Suez & Bollegraaf. SortFlow intends to release Version 2 later in 2021 and commercially roll it out to the broader market. The company aspires to become a contender in the waste management industry valued at an estimated £295 billion. It states it will use the investment to accelerate its growth by investing in product development, boosting its sales and marketing effort, and growing its team.

Medwise.ai uses Artificial Intelligence (AI) to answer questions for clinicians faster than they can respond to. It asserts that currently, doctors cannot keep up with the latest research evidence making them unable to provide the best care for their patients. It also points out that health care providers in the UK, such as the NHS, are losing £5 billion every year due to the lack of adoption of evidence-based best practices. Medwise.ai aims to change this by utilising the latest transformer-based neural networks and Natural Language Processing (NLP) technologies to extract answers from multiple sources and support clinicians to make the best decisions for patients. Medwise.ai argues that unlike traditional search engines that provide a user with a list of websites or documents, medwise.ai's portal and app provide bite-sized, actionable, and evidence-based answers extracted from trusted sources. The company is envisaging an exit through an acquisition by a publishing company, an Electronic Health Records (EHR) company, or a pharmaceutical company.
