Numan Raises $60M to Boost Growth and Expand Care Services
UK digital health platform Numan has secured $60 million (£45 million) in fresh funding to fuel its next phase of growth after doubling revenue to $90 million last year.
The latest capital, an extension of its Series B, includes $30 million in new equity led by Big Pi Ventures alongside Endeavor Catalyst, White Star Capital, and Novator Partners. It also includes $27 million in growth finance from HSBC Innovation Banking.
Founded by CEO Sokratis Papafloratos, Numan has treated over 650,000 patients across areas such as obesity management, men’s health and diagnostics, achieving profitability 18 months ago.
The new funding will help Numan expand into female health, strengthen preventative care and screening, and scale its AI-driven tech as it looks to build on 150% projected growth in 2025.
Big Pi’s Nick Kalliagkopoulos called Numan’s growth and focus on preventative care “exceptional,” while HSBC Innovation Banking’s Michael White said the firm is backing the healthtech to “reach its next milestones.”
Numan says the investment will cement its position in the UK and support its ambitions for international expansion.
M3.agency Expands with Stake in 7Fifty and New Manchester Office
West Midlands-based M3.agency is growing its footprint beyond its Birmingham and Shropshire roots with new moves into the South West and North West.
The independent agency, which provides strategy, creative and branding services, has acquired a stake in Bristol-based content production firm 7Fifty. Led by founder Rosa Brough, 7Fifty is known for its documentary-style video work for high-profile names like Tom Holland, Tom Kerridge, and Bentley.
M3 Chief Executive Nick Lovett said the partnership brings fresh storytelling capability to the group, adding: “Rosa and her team bring a unique approach to documentary content that we’ve never done before — this gives our clients something genuinely different.”
In addition, M3 has opened a new office in Manchester’s Ancoats district. Managing partner Rob Pollard said the move gives the agency a base in the North West’s thriving creative scene as it aims to deepen local relationships and deliver a “new type of marketing” for clients in sectors from hospitality to tech.
M3 currently manages around £40 million in billings each year and says the latest moves could help boost turnover to £50 million, with further growth targeted over the next two years.
Lovett added: “There’s no better way to mark our 25th anniversary than by taking our brand into new hubs. Manchester’s energy and creativity make it the perfect place to grow our independent network.”
Inntelo AI Raises £506k to Scale Automated Hotel Concierge Platform
Hospitality tech startup Inntelo AI has secured a £506,000 pre-seed round to expand its AI concierge solution for hotels.
Founded by CEO Asif Alidina, Inntelo has developed an agentic AI platform that acts as an automated concierge, allowing hotel guests to make requests and receive information around the clock via WhatsApp.
Earlier this year, Park Hall Resort and Spa in Preston became the first hotel to deploy Inntelo’s system. With fresh backing, the company plans to accelerate its rollout and grow its team.
“Hospitality’s AI transformation must be led from within the industry,” said Alidina. “Too often, hotels have struggled to adopt new technologies built without operational insight. We’re excited to help hotels lead the way in using AI to transform guest experiences and operations.”
The funding round was led by VC firm Haatch, supported by the British Business Bank, Look AI Ventures and angel investors, including former Trip.com and DocuSign executives.
Haatch general partner Fred Soneya said: “Inntelo AI has deep sector knowledge and is solving a clear pain point for a large, global market. We’re excited to support the team as they scale.”
The new round follows an earlier £120,000 raise from Antler VC.
Robiquity Names Rebecca Court as Chief Marketing Officer Following Key Project Success
Robiquity, the AI and low-code solutions specialist, has appointed Rebecca Court as its new Chief Marketing Officer as the company looks to build on its recent momentum and expand its market reach.
Court brings extensive experience leading strategic marketing for B2B technology companies, having held senior roles at Quorum Cyber, Incremental Group, Ideagen, and Coretrax. Her background includes brand development, demand generation and communications across high-growth tech and cyber firms.
The appointment follows Robiquity’s delivery of a high-impact automation project with Durham Police, where the team used Microsoft’s Power Platform to help the force speed up public information requests under Clare’s Law and Sarah’s Law. The four-month implementation reduced turnaround times by 39% and freed up critical frontline police time — highlighting Robiquity’s commitment to applying automation where it creates measurable impact.
Founded by Jack Rimmer, Robiquity partners with forward-thinking organisations to develop AI and low-code solutions that transform productivity and customer experience, while staying technology-agnostic to ensure clients get the right answers fast.
Court will now lead Robiquity’s marketing strategy as the company looks to amplify its success stories and grow its position as a trusted partner for intelligent automation.
