In advance of the full launch of Star Bots Fund, we’re curating a Prologue Portfolio of six fast-growing businesses in applied intelligence and automation. These are real companies solving real productivity gaps today, with clear paths to scale.
Each opportunity is already price-set and led by committed co-investors, giving clarity on valuation and terms.
All six are EIS-eligible, and any investment you make here will be transferable into the Star Bots Fund at launch.



Our portfolio will be shown here as investments complete. The examples below are indicative of the type of companies we back.
Smart electrical propulsion drives and autonomy for smaller boats.
RAD has grown its revenues dramatically over the last year and establishing itself as a global innovator in the marine propulsion industry.
Automated systems allowing research chemists to consistently record & repeat experiments.
Chemastery’s systems are getting positive reviews from early-adopter customers, indicating that the technology can revolutionise the way that lab chemistry is done in the future.
Autonomous, hydrogen-powered long-range offshore vessels to monitor the oceans.
Having now successfully carried out a 24-hour operation with zero emissions, the business is ready to carry out a wider range of missions and to scale up its revenues aggressively.
Smart pesticide spraying and mixing technology to reduce cost and environmental impact for farmers.
Cordon is building a strong reputation, particularly amongst vineyard and orchard operators, as an essential piece of equipment to minimise input costs and improve standards of environmental stewardship.
Virtual reality technology allowing an operator to remotely perform complex industrial tasks at a human level of dexterity, thereby also training autonomous machine operations.
There’s a global race underway to build large AI-models which can control robotic movements and dexterity. Extend has unique technology which can provide a core platform in developing substantially more capable robots for the future.
Systems that sit within an earphone or earbud to gather biometric information and enable hands-free control of other devices.
Earswitch has technology that presents exciting new applications to consumer electronics companies and large medical device businesses. It is realising its potential to become an important sub-systems supplier within enormous global market segments.
