YES! Zelim team Secure Funding
YESSSSSS!!!!
A huge congratulations to Sam Mayall, the Zelim team and Kero Development Partners for getting this over the line. This has not been easy - but changing the game at this on this scale rarely is! (And for full transparency - Everoze and I are small minority investors in Zelim)
Sam has an incredible story - after working at sea and experiencing first-hand the challenges and suffering caused by our inability to rescue people at sea, he went home and thought there has to be a better way...
This sparked the idea for an autonomous rescue boat (now called the Guardian) with a swift conveyor rescue system at the front (like the travelator in Gladiators, just on the front of a boat) and the absolutely cutting edge SarBox AI/ML visualisation software (helping to identify casualities in the water).
Fast forward to today and Zelim are selling the SWIFT into the market, beginning to trial the SarBox with the UK and U.S Coastguard, and entering build on the world's first fully-designed autonomous rescue boat (the Guardian), with significant commercial interest in all three.
This investment round is a huge step towards making Sam's dream a reality - helping to stop people dying at sea.
Well done Sam - I'm hugely proud of all the hard work you have done and incredibly excited about what's to come over the next few years!
