Seedcamp backs 3 UK startups in the last 30 days
Seedcamp was named as a participant in 3 UK funding rounds announced within the last 30 days. Seedcamp did not lead any of the rounds; each round names a separate lead investor. The three disclosed rounds total £54.5m in reported capital across pre-seed, Series A and growth stages. The deals cover biotech, fintech and legaltech sectors.
Recent Activity
Sable Bio raised £2.7m in a pre-seed round to expand its AI platform for drug target safety and help pharmaceutical teams spot toxicity risks earlier in discovery; Seedcamp was named as a participant. The company said the capital will accelerate product development, bring real-world evidence into its models and grow its London team; the article also notes Sable signed commercial agreements with multiple pharmaceutical companies, generated about £0.4m in revenue over the past 12 months and previously raised £1.5m in late 2023.
Sidekick raised £7.8m in a Series A to broaden access to investment products traditionally available only through private banks; Seedcamp was named as a participant. The company said it will use the capital to scale its investing products, grow the team and expand operations, including regional expansion in Cardiff and hiring across customer service, compliance and operations; the article states Sidekick now supports about £145m in assets under management.
Orbital raised £44m in a growth round led by Brighton Park Capital to accelerate its AI platform for real estate law across the UK and US; Seedcamp was named as a participant. The company said the capital will support product investment, UK and US growth and expansion across the broader real estate transaction ecosystem; the article reports Orbital processed 200,000 transactions in 2025, counts hundreds of law firms among its users (including AM Law 100 and Magic Circle firms), opened a New York office in 2025 and plans to double headcount and establish additional US hubs.
