☆ Exclusive: Biodiversity startup Dendra Systems has secured a $15.7 million Series B
  + stars: | 2024-05-08 | by ( Tasmin Lockwood | Riddhi Kanetkar | ) www.businessinsider.com   time to read: +3 min
British biodiversity startup Dendra Systems announced Wednesday it has raised a $15.76 million Series B, as investors continue to pour capital into climate tech. The $15.76 million Series B round was led by Zouk Capital, a London-based private equity firm that has previously backed climate-tech companies such as Green Hedge and Orb Energy. Dendra Systems previously raised $10 million Series A in 2020 from At One Ventures, Airbus Ventures, Future Positive Capital, Chris Sacca's Lowercarbon Capital, and others. Climate tech proved to be more resilient than other sectors in a cool market in 2023, with European climate tech startups bucking the trend in declining investment and raising a collective $20 billion. Dendra Systems is among the first batch of European climate startups to get VC backing.

The Earth rises above the surface of the moon, as seen from the company's lander in lunar orbit in April 2023. Japanese lunar exploration company ispace attempted to land its first cargo mission on the moon on Tuesday, but lost communication with the spacecraft and has deemed the attempt unsuccessful, CEO Takeshi Hakamada said. "We have not been able to confirm a successful landing on the lunar surface," Hakamada said, speaking from Tokyo, Japan. The Tokyo-based company's Mission 1 lunar lander was aiming to softly touch down around 12:40 p.m. "We have to assume that we could not complete the landing on the lunar surface," Hakamada said.

OAKLAND, Calif. Feb 16 (Reuters) - Singapore-based startup Transcelestial, which makes wireless laser communications equipment, said on Thursday it raised $10 million in a funding round led by Airbus Ventures. The funding will be used to boost internet infrastructure in Southeast Asia and India, Rohit Jha, CEO and co-founder of Transcelestial, said. Transcelestial's technology is basically fibre optics going wireless, Jha added. And you don't need these fibre cables anymore," said Jha. In addition to helping build out internet infrastructure more cheaply, wireless laser communications are more secure than using fibre optics, which can be tapped to steal data, Jha said, adding that if hackers try to intercept the laser beam, the devices just shut off.
