At Honch, we track every UK company that raises investment. As of last month, we've now passed more than 1,000 UK businesses that have secured their latest round of funding in 2025, raising more than £72billion.

October was another standout month, with 160 companies raising new capital across AI, automation, healthtech, and deep science. Below are a few of the most notable examples - the ones now hiring fast, scaling globally, and actively spending on tools, data, and services that help them grow.

If you sell into tech, marketing, HR or finance departments, these are the companies to watch.

Nscale - £355million (AI infrastructure)

Nscale is building Europe’s sovereign AI backbone: large-scale data centres that let companies train AI models without relying on US cloud providers.

This £355m round will fund new facilities across Europe and North America to meet demand from governments and enterprises that want more control over their data. With partners like NVIDIA and Microsoft, Nscale is now one of the UK’s biggest spenders in AI infrastructure - an obvious target for tech, talent, and service providers.

Dexory - £82million (Logistics automation)

London-based Dexory builds autonomous warehouse robots and AI software that gives logistics teams a live view of their inventory.

The £82m raise will help Dexory expand into North America and Asia and strengthen its AI capabilities. Already working with GXO, Maersk, and DHL, the company is growing its sales, marketing, and operations teams fast.

Moniepoint - £74million (Fintech)

Moniepoint, a fast-growing fintech, raised £74m to close its Series C round at around £165m total. The company processes over £200 billion in annual payments and is expanding into Kenya and the UK under its MonieWorld brand.

With backing from Visa and Google’s Africa Investment Fund, Moniepoint is setting up new UK operations and investing heavily in marketing, hiring, and partnerships.

Chemify - £40million (Digital chemistry)

Glasgow-based Chemify raised just over £41m to expand its “Chemputation” platform - a system that uses robotics and AI to automate molecular creation.

The company is now opening new facilities in the US and building a global network of automated labs, creating opportunities for software, cloud, and automation suppliers.

SheMed - £40million (Women’s health)

London-based SheMed raised £41m at a £800m valuation, making it one of the UK’s newest unicorns. The platform focuses on women’s health and GLP-1 treatments, already serving more than 60,000 users.

The new funding will go toward building data infrastructure, expanding medical teams, and scaling marketing operations - all signs of a company about to spend heavily on growth.

Wild Bioscience - £50million (Agtech)

Oxford spin-out Wild Bioscience raised £49m to grow its AI-powered crop improvement platform. The company uses machine learning to find genetic traits that make crops more resilient and productive.

Backed by the Ellison Institute of Technology, Wild Bio is scaling internationally and investing in R&D, sustainability, and data science teams.
