Imported completed research. Baseline Adex/Signal statements describe prior state, not independent verification. Retain cited attribution, date, currency and classification caveats.
| **Seldon** | Open-source ML serving/deployment and model-management infrastructure at scale on Kubernetes. Advanced AI infrastructure exposure, with a weaker physical/scientific deep-tech classification than Aibuild or Converge. | Lead investor's announcement names FOM among existing investors committing further capital to **£2.7m seed**, **16 January 2019**. FOM also lists company and seed first investment. | [Amadeus Capital official announcement](https://www.amadeuscapital.com/machine-learning-deployment-launchpad-seldon-secures-2-7m-in-seed-round-led-by-amadeus-capital-partners/ ) (2019-01-16); [FOM portfolio](https://www.fomcap.com/portfolio/seldon ) (undated, current Series B). Snapshot's Electronics Weekly source was inaccessible; official co-investor source supplies dated verification. |
| **Repositive** | Human genomic research-data access supporting diagnostics and oncology research. Genomics R&D infrastructure adjacent to life-science deep tech, rather than a novel therapeutic or neural device. | FOM explicitly named in **closed £2.5m Series A**, **4 April 2017**, led by Ananda. | [Company-issued release](https://www.globenewswire.com/news-release/2017/04/04/954114/0/en/Repositive-Closes-Series-A-Fundraising-of-2-5-Million.html ) (2017-04-04); [official co-investor Amadeus](https://www.amadeuscapital.com/repositive-closes-series-fundraising-2-5-million/ ) (2017-04-04); [Cambridge Judge](https://www.jbs.cam.ac.uk/2017/new-funding-for-platform-repositive/ ) (2017-04-10). Not present in snapshot investment list; useful additional research lead. |
**Other lead, attribution unresolved:** HULO uses AI for water leakage detection. The [company-issued €2.3m seed release](https://www.prnewswire.com/news-releases/hulo-raises-2-3m-seed-round-to-combat-global-water-loss-with-ai-powered-leak-detection-302589402.html ) dated **21 October 2025** names “the FOM” alongside VP Capital, LUMO Labs, Vanagon, Rabobank and NEW, but does **not** expand FOM to Force Over Mass Capital. Adex assigns it to this firm, as do aggregators, but acronym-only attribution remains insufficiently resolved here. Verify the legal investor before treating it as a confirmed FOMCAP investment.
**Additional deep-tech lead:** Greyparrot's computer-vision recycling analytics and FOM seed involvement are supported by indexed text of the [Candy Ventures release](https://candyventures.lu/wp-content/uploads/2020/05/Greyparrot-Seed-Funding-Press-Release.pdf ), May 2020 URL, mentioning **£1.825m seed**. Direct source retrieval was blocked, so do not infer a precise announcement day, later round participation or lead status from this lead alone.
Fintech, marketing compliance, coworking and e-commerce entries (for example Stoa, Adclear, Huckletree, Banked and Moteefe) are not counted as deep-tech merely because the firm funds technology. MeVitae's name/cognitive science association and general AI likewise do not prove brain measurement, stimulation or a neural interface.
## Neurotech findings and attribution caveats
**No verified neurotech investment found in the sources checked.** The reviewed official portfolio pages, named funding announcements, Signal firm extraction and targeted searches for Force Over Mass with neurotech, brain and neuroscience did not yield a directly attributable BCI, neural implant, neurostimulation or brain-sensing company. This is a bounded evidence conclusion, not a claim of no such investments.
Repositive's genomics/oncology infrastructure is life-science adjacent, not direct neurotech. AI infrastructure and cognitive-bias software are not neural technologies by default. A search result for CoMind concerned Christina Franzeskides' founder experience at **6 Degrees Capital**, not a FOM investment; it is excluded. FOM and 6 Degrees must remain distinct. [Financial Investigator](https://www.financialinvestigator.nl/en/nieuws-detailpagina/2023/02/02/Wouter-Volckaert-Managing-Partner-bij-6-Degrees-Capital ) (2023-02-02) reports Wouter Volckaert moving from FOM to 6 Degrees, making the snapshot's undated current-role implication questionable. A partner's former employment or founder experience is not firm portfolio attribution.
## Conflicts, missing information and later Adex review
1. **Preserve exact ID.** `GoldiForceOverMassCapital` is the assigned webpage ID even though the canonical firm name has no Goldi prefix. No identity merge was performed.
2. **Converge duplication:** snapshot contains Converge (multiple entries) and CONVERGE.io around May 2025. Compare company/round IDs before deduplicating; official evidence supports one US$22m announced round on 21 May 2025, not separate companies or multiple investments solely from the spelling difference. Snapshot Payflow entries may also duplicate a 2022 event.
3. **Fund size unknown:** retain null values pending a primary fund document or clearly attributable close announcement. Public database coverage is incomplete and gated; current new-fund language does not supply numeric size/vintage. No claim that IV is the latest vehicle.
4. **Team history:** independently review role end dates for Volckaert and Stoops; Volckaert's move is dated above. Do not import 6 Degrees' checks, funds, CoMind-related operating experience or investments into FOM.
5. **HULO:** resolve “the FOM” before accepting the snapshot's firm attribution. Record the original €2.3m rather than approximate dollar totals.
6. **New/stronger portfolio evidence:** consider Aibuild and Repositive as candidate additions after checking existing company entities; replace Seldon's missing date with 2019-01-16 only after round matching. Record named FOM attribution and separate round total from investor contribution.
7. **Coverage limit:** this review verified selected deep-tech investments and bounded neurotech/fund gaps; it did not audit every snapshot fintech transaction or establish current share ownership/exits. Official portfolio “current stage” fields may lag newer funding. All undated pages were accessed 2026-10-06; publication dates are stated where supported above.

# Force Over Mass Capital
- **Exact Adex ID:** `GoldiForceOverMassCapital`
- **Canonical Adex URL:** https://adex.page/firms/GoldiForceOverMassCapital
- **Research date / source access date:** 2026-10-06
- **Status:** research complete for this review pass; unresolved points explicitly retained below.
Force Over Mass (FOM/FOMCAP) is a London venture investor with verified exposure to industrial additive manufacturing, concrete sensing and AI, simulated reality, machine-learning infrastructure and genomics research data. This is broader than ordinary fintech/SaaS, but the evidence does not establish a specialist neurotechnology mandate. No verified neurotech investment found in the sources checked. Public fund amounts remain unavailable; do not substitute investee financing totals for fund size.
## Identity and starting evidence
The saved read-only Adex snapshot, `data/research/_sources/GoldiForceOverMassCapital.adex.json`, retrieved 2026-10-06, contains one exact record, describes a 2013-founded early-stage B2B investor focused on AI, fintech, SaaS and Industry 4.0 across UK/Europe, and has null minimum/maximum/sweet-spot check sizes. It lists 33 investment participations including Converge/CONVERGE.io, Sensat, Seldon, MeVitae, what3words and financial/software companies. Its roles include Arjun Kandola, Lucas Stoops, Wouter Volckaert and Martijn De Wever. These are starting claims, not independent verification. Goldi material and partner Signal records are among its inputs.
[Companies House](https://find-and-update.company-information.service.gov.uk/company/OC389516 ) identifies Force Over Mass Capital LLP (OC389516), active, incorporated 27 November 2013, with registered office 4 Matthew Parker Street, London. The [official firm site](https://www.fomcap.com/ ) identifies Martijn de Wever as founder/CEO and states FCA authorisation under FRN 613706. FCA status is the firm's published statement; its register entry was not independently inspected.
[NFX Signal firm profile](https://signal.nfx.com/firms/force-over-mass-capital ) was directly read. Extracted content identifies the United Kingdom and co-investors Balderton, Speedinvest, Elefund and 6 Degrees Capital, but exposes no useful stages, check sizes or team details. Its sparse/dynamic extraction is not evidence that those fields or investments are absent. The snapshot-linked [Martijn De Wever Signal profile](https://signal.nfx.com/investors/martijn-de-wever ) returned an internal access error. Personal investment history must not be assigned automatically to FOM.

Searches included fund/close/amount queries and newer 2024–2026 vehicles. No public numeric firm fund size was verified. The investor page's EIS risk text refers to investment in early-stage businesses; it should not be confused with an announced fund close.
## Investment stages and mandate
The current [official homepage](https://www.fomcap.com/ ) broadly describes support throughout a company's scaling journey; it does not provide a precise pre-seed-to-Series-B mandate or numeric checks. Current [portfolio pages](https://www.fomcap.com/portfolio/sensat ) explicitly record seed as first investment and later company stages. Historical supporting evidence covers **seed, Series A and Series B**: a [2020 Greyparrot seed release hosted by co-investor Candy Ventures](https://candyventures.lu/wp-content/uploads/2020/05/Greyparrot-Seed-Funding-Press-Release.pdf ) search-index text describes FOM's B2B Industry 4.0/AI/fintech strategy and those stages using EIS and growth funds. Direct retrieval hit an anti-bot page, so this is indexed historical evidence, not full live inspection. [Chambers' historical UK finance profile](https://chambers.com/downloads/rankings/565/united-kingdom.pdf ) also describes early-stage investment and cites Series A/B transactions; its period-specific portfolio pace must not become a current commitment.
The distinction matters: a company's “Current Stage: Series B” does not prove FOM invested in that round. Verified round participations below demonstrate transaction history, not all future eligibility.
## Named previous deep-tech investments
Classification is a research assessment based on the described technology. Software-only companies are qualified where appropriate; no company below is direct neurotechnology.
| Company | Technology relevance | FOM attribution, round and date | Supporting sources / limits |
| --- | --- | --- | --- |
| **Aibuild / Ai Build** | Autonomous additive manufacturing: robotic/gantry toolpaths, geometrical algorithms, physics simulation and AI tied to physical production. Strong industrial deep-tech fit. | Company confirms FOM as a continuing investor in a strategic financing announced **16 December 2025**, led by IQ Capital; amount undisclosed. Firm page says first investment seed and current company stage Series A. | [Official company announcement](https://ai-build.com/resources/aibuild-secures-strategic-investment-from-driventure-and-212-next-to-accelerate-physical-ai-in-manufacturing/ ) (2025-12-16); [official FOM portfolio](https://www.fomcap.com/portfolio/aibuild ) (undated). Use announcement date, not inconsistent aggregator dates; do not invent a Series B label or FOM cheque. |
| **Converge / CONVERGE.io** | Proprietary sensor data, concrete monitoring and predictive AI to simulate performance and optimise mix design/carbon emissions. Strong sensing/industrial climate-tech fit. | Company names **Force Over Mass Capital** as an existing investor participating in a **closed US$22m round**, announced **21 May 2025**, led by ABN AMRO Sustainable Impact Fund. | [Official investee announcement](https://www.converge.io/blog/converge-raises-22m-to-decarbonize-concrete-with-ai ) (2025-05-21). No formal stage or investor allocation stated. US$22m is total round, not FOM contribution. |
| **Sensat / SenSat** | Simulated reality, 3D spatial representation/digital twins and computer vision applied to infrastructure. Deep-tech enabling software; company marketing does not establish exclusive IP or hardware ownership. | FOM's official portfolio confirms company and seed first investment. **10 August 2018** reporting names Force Over Mass in approximately **€3.7m seed funding**. | [FOM portfolio](https://www.fomcap.com/portfolio/sensat ) (undated, first seed/current Series B); [EU-Startups](https://www.eu-startups.com/2018/08/london-based-sensat-secures-about-e3-7-million-to-further-develop-its-simulated-reality-technology/ ) (2018-08-10).
