Hanbuc is building the clinical operating system for mental health, starting with ADHD and autism diagnostics. Assessment today is a mess of PDFs, unstructured letters and clinician time spent transcribing rather than thinking. Waiting lists run for years. The information needed to make a good diagnostic decision exists, but it is scattered across screening tools, self-rating scales, collateral reports from parents and teachers, and the clinician’s own notes. We restructure that entire pathway. Screening and digital assessment run before the appointment, and their output is summarised, categorised and used to prepopulate the DIVA-5 and a draft psychiatric report. The clinician arrives at the consultation already knowing where to focus and what is missing. Ambient AI handles the transcription and structuring during the session itself. The clinical assessment cannot begin until the upstream work is complete, which is a deliberate quality gate rather than a workflow inconvenience. The company was founded by practising NHS psychiatrists. Our CMO is Prof Steven Marwaha. We are CQC-aligned by design and backed by £1M in seed funding across 13 investors.

Midas is a platform for composable onchain investment products. It enables strategy managers to turn institutional strategies into compliant tokens that offer investors full transparency, instant redemptions, and native composability across DeFi protocols such as Morpho and Pendle. Midas products are compliant financial instruments that are issued with clearly defined investor rights, onchain transparency, and robust operational controls. Each product’s underlying investment strategy is managed and monitored by appointed strategy managers, such as BlackRock, Hyperithm and M1 Capital, with ongoing oversight of risk parameters and performance. Founded in 2024 by Dennis Dinkelmeyer (formerly Goldman Sachs), Fabrice Grinda (FJ Labs), and Romain Bourgois (formerly Ondo Finance), Midas is backed by leading investors including RRE, Creandum, Framework Ventures, HV Capital, Ledger Cathay and Coinbase Ventures. To date, Midas has powered over $1.7B in asset issuance and paid out $37M in yield.
