FloatWind manufactures mass-produced floating offshore wind turbines. It seeks to disrupt the £20 billion offshore wind energy market. The company argues that conventional offshore wind farms, installed at sea, use expensive and slow installation methods that are also dangerous to the marine environment. It further stresses that the high cost of installation is often borne by the consumer. FloatWind asserts that its business model is different. The company claims to build its products on land and then floats its ready-to-float turbines out to sea. The company points out that this reduces environmental damage, substantially reduces costs, and makes offshore wind energy cheaper. FloatWind was selected for a 6-month UK Innovate Edge business mentoring programme and appeared for SetSquared Business Mentoring Seminar in May 2021. The company has 3,000+ followers on LinkedIn. FloatWind states it will use the investment for product development, expanding its team, IP protection, promoting marketing and PR, and boosting its manufacturing capabilities.

Avoiding unnecessary product packaging by offering zero-waste and technological alternative. CupClub uses RFID to keep track of how packaging is being handle in the supply chain and then developing an optimised method to reduce wastage whilst increasing efficiency. Their technology can also provide consumer behaviour data by tracking retail sales and location information. These statistics can offer businesses greater insights into customer trading patterns.
Two versions of CupClub will exist; one designed for food service restaurants and cafés and another designed for retail and office environments. Their revenue model consists of a small standard rate that is charged per drink, which is then multiplied by the average number of sales per day. A tiered level of contracts ranging from £50 to over £1m are offered. Integrating the CupClub technology also carries its own set-up costs and a further fee applies to third-parties that wish to gain access to analytics collected by CupClub.

Endlesss is a cloud-connected mobile and desktop app that turns music creation into a live, collaborative social event where musicians and fans can interact in real-time from anywhere in the world. The company argues that despite users making music, sharing that piece of music is a long and lonely process that takes days or months, requires multiple different apps and services, and carries no guarantee on whether those songs would be heard or not. Endlesss aims to change this via its software. The company witnessed over 9,000 sign-ups in May 2021, oversaw over 40,000 jams and 2.6 million riffs being created in 2020, and has spread across 100+ countries. Endlesss aspires to dominate the music creation software market that is expected to grow to $1.86 billion by 2027, up from $884 million in 2020. The company has received acclaim from entities such as Verge, TechCrunch and Pitchfork. Endlesss states it will use the investment to grow its team, develop new features, boost marketing, and promote Research & Development (R&D) to grow its business.
