We are currently at a very early stage in our spinout journey (incorporated in September 2021) - but we have already secured international sales of our kit and have supported 4 people working on with us. We have leveraged significant seed funding (£200,000) and anticipate 10 sales in our first year. Update 19-4-24 We have now acheived £1.2M in sales revenue, selling and installing 9 instruments, 7 in the US, and 2 in the UK, and are about to close a significant seed round, to enable rapid expansion in products and sectors.
