Seren Photonics
Venture Round in 2015
Seren Photonics Limited specializes in the development and manufacture of semi-polar and non-polar Gallium Nitride (GaN) templates, which are essential for light-emitting diodes (LEDs), lasers, vertical-cavity surface-emitting lasers (VCSELs), and power switches. Based in Bridgend, United Kingdom, the company employs a proprietary manufacturing process to produce these templates, specifically growing semi-polar GaN on m-plane sapphire and non-polar GaN on r-plane sapphire. Their innovative technology significantly enhances light intensity in high-brightness LEDs, achieving increases in light generation ranging from 100% to 900% compared to untreated diodes. Founded in 2009, Seren Photonics has positioned itself to serve various lighting markets, including backlighting for laptops and televisions, signage, and architectural lighting. As of November 2016, it operates as a subsidiary of Fusion IP Sheffield Limited.
Diurnal
Venture Round in 2014
Diurnal Group plc is a specialty pharmaceutical company based in Cardiff, United Kingdom, that specializes in developing hormone therapeutics for the treatment of chronic endocrine conditions. Founded in 2004, the company aims to provide innovative solutions for conditions such as congenital adrenal hyperplasia, adrenal insufficiency, hypogonadism, and hypothyroidism. Diurnal's notable products include Alkindi, a replacement therapy for pediatric adrenal insufficiency, and Chronocort, which has completed Phase III clinical trials for adrenal insufficiency and congenital adrenal hyperplasia.
