I will provide an analysis of 3 early-stage startups building global solutions in the UK, Switzerland, and the US, 2 of which are founded by Spanish entrepreneurs.

📍 HQ: London, UK
🏭 Industry: AI for highly regulated sectors (healthcare, public safety, justice)
☘ Stage: Seed
🚨 Problem: Front-line staff in regulated environments spend 40–50 % of their time on administration. Legacy systems, fragmented data, and strict compliance rules slow them down and create costly errors.
🔛 Solution: An agentic AI platform that captures conversations in real time (ambient voice), structures and validates data, generates documentation, and triggers follow-up actions, all with full audit trails, human-in-the-loop controls, and governance built for healthcare and law-enforcement standards.
📱 Product: Web platform + API delivering.

🫰 Business model: Enterprise SaaS: annual per-user or per-site licensing.
🎯 Ideal Customer Profile: Organisations that handle sensitive personal data and require strict compliance.
📊 Traction: Active pilots with multiple NHS trusts and UK police forces
🏚 Market: Serviceable Addressable Market ≈ £26 bn across UK health, policing, and social services, with expansion potential across Europe and North America.

💰 Round: Seed. Preparing next raise to scale UK deployments and enter the US.

📍 HQ: Austin, TX, USA
🏭 Industry: Semiconductor, Cloud computing
☘ Stage: Early
🚨 Problem: Cloud Service Providers and High-Performance Computing centers are hitting a Scaling Wall. As they grow to thousands of servers, managing them becomes too complex for humans and current monitoring tools. This slows down performance and cuts into profits.
🔛 Solution: Self-healing microservice that runs inside data centers, continuously watching over hardware, software, and even user errors. System-Stack can detect, classify, and fix problems in real time.
📱 Product:

🫰 Business model: SaaS, B2C, B2B
🎯 Ideal Customer Profile: Very large scale datacenter for AI and HPC.
📊 Traction: MOUs, POCs, acqui-hires.

📱 Product:

🫰 Business model: Annual subscriptions for scouts and freemium for football fans.
