Four SETsquared Bristol companies have secured funding from Innovate UK’s Unlocking Potential: Build Award to accelerate their innovations into development.

Eleria, Inclued AI, MyCoPilot.ai and SpatialCortex Technology have each received a £50k grant and access to tailored mentorship and support programmes.

The Innovate UK competition is investing a combined £6.2m into innovative projects with the power to transform society. Building on programmes like Women in Innovation and Young Innovators, it aims to level the playing field for innovation by supporting and funding innovators from groups that are currently under-represented or overlooked in innovation.

Eleria

Eleria will use the award to start production of their novel menstrual cleaning cup. Founders Kira Goode and Monica Wai, former University of Bristol students, received support through our Enterprising Women programme 3.0. The duo have also won a national competition hosted by the Royal Academy of Engineers, for which they will receive mentorship from Dragon’s Den star, Deborah Meaden.

Kira Goode, Co-Founder, Eleria said: “This funding will allow us to start building our team as well as begin some manufacturing to start bringing the product to life. We are very excited for what this grant is unlocking for our business and how it will accelerate our growth.”
