RevEng.AILondon cybersecurity company founded by James Patrick-Evans in 2023, developing specialised AI for reverse engineering, binary analysis and software supply-chain verification. RevEng.AI analyses compiled executables, firmware and third-party software without source-code access to help security teams identify hidden functionality, malicious components, vulnerabilities and suspicious changes between releases. Its original BinNet approach has expanded into the Mega Bite model suite: WilBERT learns function similarity across binaries and architectures, while Ventris reconstructs readable code from compiled software. The product combines malware analysis, code search, decompilation and security workflows, with integrations for tools such as Ghidra and IDA and developer SDKs. Published benchmark results are company evaluations, with stated limits on semantic equivalence and architecture coverage. Known leadership includes Founder and CEO James Patrick-Evans, Lead ML Research Scientist Henry Charlesworth, Head of Engineering Robert Marsal and Head of Defence & Partnerships Jonny P. The company announced a $4.15 million seed round in June 2025 and a $15 million Series A in May 2026, following an earlier pre-seed of undisclosed amount and date. NCSC for Startups and Intel Ignite participation are accelerator support, distinct from equity funding. Its current website identifies UK company number 14818671; secondary records for an older dissolved entity should not be treated as its current operating status.

Its publicly documented investments include AI neurorehabilitation company nyra health, electronic implant developer UroMems and T-cell therapy developer Captain T Cell.

EVER PharmaEVER Pharma is a privately owned specialty pharmaceutical group headquartered in Unterach, Austria, focused on neurology and complex sterile injectables for oncology, intensive care and hormone therapy. The group traces its origins to EBEWE Pharma, founded in Vienna in 1934; the neurology business was spun off and rebranded EVER Pharma in 2008–2009 when the oncology business was sold to Novartis. Its facilities in Austria and Germany develop and manufacture injectable medicines and drug-delivery devices. Its neurological product portfolio includes Cerebrolysin and Dacepton, alongside D-mine pen and infusion-pump devices for Parkinson’s disease medication delivery; indications and availability depend on the local market. Its published group management includes chairman and owner Friedrich Hillebrand, CEO Georges Kahwati, and managing director and co-owner Julia Hillebrand. The website identifies EVER Neuro Pharma GmbH and EVER Pharma Jena GmbH as operating entities. Although nyra health financing announcements use the EVER Pharma brand, its registered shareholder and historical investment vehicle is the separate Hillebrand family-office entity HIL-INVENT Ges.m.b.H.; those equity participations must not be attributed to the operating pharmaceutical group. Published R&D spending and manufacturing investments are operational expenditure rather than venture financing rounds.

NATO Innovation FundIndependent, multi-sovereign venture capital fund backed by 24 NATO member countries, investing in dual-use deep technology for defence, security and resilience. Launched in 2022, its flagship fund closed on €1 billion in July 2023; current capital exceeds €1 billion after additional sovereign participation. NIF invests directly in startups and through other venture funds, typically entering from seed to Series B with initial investments of up to €15 million and reserves for follow-on financing. Focus areas include AI, autonomy, quantum technologies, biotechnology, advanced materials and manufacturing, space, energy and next-generation communications. Its investment management headquarters are in Amsterdam, with regional offices in London and Warsaw and the fund domiciled in Luxembourg.
