One of the most exciting robotics startups announces its $100mm Series A. Congrats to @mavenrobotics. Proudly backed by @CreatorFund two years ago at inception when the pitch was a simple promise: we will build the world's best industrial robot.

.@MacfarlaneJamie and @CreatorFund were among the first investors in @goairspeed. Jamie believed early in @devang314 and me, and in our vision for how companies should be run: much more AI-first, data-driven by default, with AI creating huge execution leverage across the business. We're still some way from that ultimate vision. But Airspeed is already closing one of the most important loops: turning sales conversations, a treasure trove of customer intelligence, into action across the whole company. That means improving how teams sell, sharpening how they message the product, and feeding what customers are saying directly into the product roadmap. A few years later, we found ourselves crossing London in an Airspeed-branded taxi, talking about the journey so far. (Who would've thought we'd do this back in the day! 😅) Jamie, thank you for believing early. We're lucky to have had you in our corner from the start.

Excited to launch Celeris-1 - a general purpose language model which delivers near-GPT-5 level intelligence with 15x faster response times. Celeris-1 delivers a p50 response latency of 157ms - around 15× faster than GPT-5-mini and 17× faster than GPT-5 - while scoring comparably 76% on MMLU-Pro, compared with 78% and 81%, respectively. The model is available starting today. Sign up at celeris.ai

This company is going to completely change the world of fertility. Last week, Ovo Labs released a short film about their work developing a new generation of therapeutics that can help more people fulfil their dream of parenthood. This is the story behind how nearly two decades of fundamental research at the Max Planck Institute for Multidisciplinary Sciences evolved into a company dedicated to translating these discoveries into therapeutic candidates that aim at improving egg quality and the success of IVF. @OvoLabsGmbH @maxplanckpress @SchuhLab

Europe is often blind about who is operating in our waters. Mars is better mapped than the ocean floor. @CreatorFund has backed Triton Depth 🇩🇰 to build the security layer for the West's oceans. This is why its urgent: piped.video/watch?v=TGu3mcMH…

€91 million of new financing for @Quant_Diamonds 💎 to build the global standard in semiconductor inspection. Excited to be backing the team again.

The number one thing Deep Tech companies need is access to specialist technical talent. That's what European universities produce better than anyone else.

Delighted to announce the $56 million final close of our first institutional Fund. Backing Scientific Founders across Europe's best universities. Covered in @ObserverUK : shorturl.at/aNnQy

Huge congrats to the team at Airspeed on their $20mm Series A. Two senior @GoogleDeepMind engineers building the world's most powerful engine for sales teams.

If we are going to send robots to the frontier, they need the ability to reliably capture data. Latent Worlds AI allows robots to learn in the wild. Backed from #Delft 🇳🇱. Watch the story of Cris and Ale here: piped.video/2Xtin60OOSA?si=la0j…

A new generation of deeply technical investors are training at Creator Fund during their PhDs before going on to join Europe's top funds.

The best PhDs in Europe come to @CreatorFund alongside their degrees to turn their research into Deep Tech startups. Over 200 students across 10 countries have been through our venture programme.

Lenses that revolutionise the way the human eye experiences a screen. Making sure content is always in focus. CF team experiencing the nanophotonic wizardy of @allfocaloptics.

Scientists need an application layer to harness the power of models and make them practical inside labs. That's being built by Luxembourgish team @helicalaicom. Huge congrats on their $10mm seed round.

30 university campuses in 10 countries across Europe. Meet the 2025-6 Creator Fund Team! creatorfund.medium.com/creat…

Love to see a Glaswegian company raising a $50 million round led by @insightpartners. On the banks of the Clyde 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿, the pioneering chemist @leecronin has built the first autonomous chemistry laboratory with @ChemifyX . Series B announced today. Proudly backed by @CreatorFund.

Today we announce our first-pan European fund with a $41 million initial close. Here to back the PhD Founders turning scientific breakthrough into this continent's next generation of Deep Tech businesses: techfundingnews.com/uk-based…

Great to see @Malted_AI 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿 @iain_with_2is going to meet Keir Starmer today to tell PM not to forget AI innovation outside of London. At @CreatorFund, Central Belt 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿 is where we see strongest AI startups outside of Golden Triangle. In @thetimes

Great story for 🇬🇧 tech. Army Major Will Blyth sees in the field a need to build software to connect military robots. Founds @AronditeTech (tapping another great 🇬🇧 institution @UniofOxford for talent). And today raises $12mm seed @IndexVentures. Proudly backed by @CreatorFund.

An exciting day as @MissMeiosis @SchuhLab and @yagensky announce the launch of Ovo Labs. Based on decades of research at the @maxplanckpress , Ovo addresses age-related infertility and why the human egg deteriorates over time: femtechinsider.com/fertility…
