If this week鈥檚 crowdfunding roundup has anything to say, it鈥檚 that founders are not thinking small.

So, who are the startups crowdfunding this week? Here they are.

About: Folc is an English ros茅 producer, challenging the established names in Provence and Champagne.

SEIS/EIS? Yes, EIS

About: Permia Sensing is building a multi-data management platform that brings together information streams plantation operators need to make better, faster decisions.

Agriculture at plantation scale generates enormous amounts of data from soil, weather, satellite imagery and on-the-ground monitoring. But without the right tools to integrate and interpret it, most of that information goes underused. Permia Sensing is giving operators a unified platform that turns that raw data into actionable insights.

SEIS/EIS? EIS pending.

About: Deadly Dozen is a fitness race format built to be run anywhere, designed around standard gym and track equipment so that barriers keeping most people out of competitive fitness events don鈥檛 apply.

The endurance and obstacle race market has exploded over the past decade, but the entry requirements 鈥� being specialist venues, travel, signifiant upfront costs 鈥� have kept it out of reach for a lot of people who would otherwise be keen to compete. Deadly Dozen creates a format that works with the equipment that gyms and tracks already have.

SEIS/EIS? N/A

About: Carbon Neutral Fuels is developing eSAF, synthetic jet fuel made from electricity, water and carbon dioxide with the potential to cut lifecycle emissions by more than 95%.

Aviation remains one of the hardest sectors to decarbonise. CNF鈥檚 flagship Starling project doesn鈥檛 ask airlines to change their planes or infrastructure, it simply replaces what goes in the tank with something that the atmosphere can live with. The compatibility with existing engines and supply chains is a significant part of the appeal.
