Poindexter Labs, a London, UK-based AI data company that provides expert-generated training data for advanced AI models, has raised £2 million in an oversubscribed seed round.

Vulcan Two Group, a company building the UK's leading regulated ePharmacy through acquisitions, has raised £40 million in gross proceeds through an oversubscribed placing of 20 million new ordinary shares at 200 pence per share. The fundraising attracted strong support from existing and new institutional investors. The net proceeds will fund acquisitions, provide working capital for the enlarged group and support bolt-on acquisitions and future trading growth. Related parties including Octopus Investments Limited, Gresham House Asset Management and Dowgate Group Limited conditionally subscribed for significant portions of the placing shares. The acquisitions and placing require shareholder approval at a general meeting scheduled for 17 March 2026. Canaccord Genuity acted as nominated adviser, sole bookrunner and sole broker for the transaction.

Milan-based startup Bricks.sh has raised €1.6 million in a pre-seed round led by Primo Capital to automate the creation of internal admin panels using AI. Octopus First Cheque Fund, Eden Ventures, Vesper Holding, Vento and several angel investors participated. The company addresses a common problem where engineering teams spend weeks or months building internal tools for refunds, subscriptions and user management—work that consumes development time without generating revenue. Bricks.sh's platform aims to eliminate the trade-off between speed and customisation in internal tool development. The startup, which has launched its public beta alongside the funding announcement, will use the capital to expand its team and grow its global customer base whilst improving its core product.
