Grow in EMEA Marks 2025 With Expanded Advisory Reach and AI-Driven Portfolio Growth
Grow in EMEA reports a strong 2025 marked by deeper activity as a European investment and advisory firm, with an increased footprint across key markets and a sharper focus on artificial intelligence. Beyond investing, the firm expanded its structured advisory work on market entry, fundraising, and European scaling, surpassing ten client references during the year.
United Kingdom, 2nd Jan 2026 – In 2025, Grow in EMEA further reinforced its position as a Europe-focused investment and advisory platform, expanding its reach across priority markets, sharpening its focus on artificial intelligence, and increasing its contribution to the region’s innovation and angel-investment landscape. In addition to its investment activity, Grow in EMEA delivers structured advisory support to independent companies on market entry, fundraising, and scaling across Europe; during 2025, client references for these services exceeded ten.

Over the year, the firm also strengthened its profile within the European angel investing community. Grow in EMEA contributed to the third edition of a widely followed annual report on the European angel market, produced by a leading angel network in collaboration with a top-tier global management consultancy. The firm shared perspectives on Europe’s structural advantages, competitive position, and key gaps—insights reflected in the report’s analysis of how angel investors enable early-stage growth and innovation across the continent. The publication was recently released and highlighted on Grow in EMEA’s LinkedIn page.
In parallel, Grow in EMEA remained active at major ecosystem gatherings. The firm again participated in the fifth edition of a flagship startup and investment festival in Malta, continuing its long-standing engagement with the country’s entrepreneurial community. During this year’s event, a major Turkish banking group’s AI innovation hub and Malta’s national investment promotion agency signed a cooperation protocol, with Grow in EMEA supporting the process through network access and advisory input. In the 2023 edition of the same festival, the firm had also contributed on stage, sharing practical experience on scaling businesses between Europe and emerging markets.
On the global conference circuit, Grow in EMEA received an invitation to attend a major international technology conference scheduled to take place in Qatar in February 2026, further underscoring its international positioning. This follows prior speaking engagements at leading regional innovation and technology forums in Beirut and Dubai, where the firm shared insights on cross-border growth strategies, fundraising dynamics, and Europe’s role as a scaling hub for technology companies.
Building on the strategic direction set in 2023 to become more active in artificial intelligence, Grow in EMEA consolidated its AI-focused consumer applications under a dedicated mobile software structure. Existing products such as Baby Blend and iLove VPN were brought under this umbrella, and three new AI-enabled mobile applications—Amora, Trendify, and Touchify—were launched during the year. This consolidation reflects a long-term view on AI-driven consumer products and a commitment to building scalable, data-centric digital assets.
Throughout the year, Grow in EMEA also continued to support the international expansion of key companies in its portfolio. A notable milestone was achieved with REM People, an AI-driven retail analytics company. Grow in EMEA played a leading advisory role in REM People’s successful admission into a government-backed incentive program in Malta. The process has now been completed and positions Malta as a strategic base for the company’s European operations. Grow in EMEA remains closely involved in the next phase of growth and is pleased to support continued scaling across the region.
In the fintech vertical, portfolio company Wamo reached an important regulatory and strategic milestone. With Grow in EMEA’s guidance and consultancy, Wamo secured an e-money licence in Finland and subsequently established its local office. This step has accelerated Wamo’s expansion across the Nordics and strengthened its footprint within Northern Europe’s financial services ecosystem.
In consumer and food, portfolio company DIPCAF continued to deepen its presence in Northern Europe. The company participated in both the Helsinki Food Fair and the Helsinki Coffee Festival, generating a wide range of new commercial conversations and business leads. These activities increased brand visibility and supported stronger market penetration across the region.
Since 2015, Grow in EMEA has built a diversified portfolio including category-leading and fast-growing companies such as Bolt, Salv, Wamo, REM People, EKMOB, DIPCAF, and several AI-driven consumer applications. In 2025, activities spanning Malta, the Netherlands, Estonia, the Nordics, and the wider EMEA region once again demonstrated the firm’s core strength: combining capital, operational know-how, and ecosystem access to help technology companies scale across Europe and beyond.

Giggso Introduces Raven, Andie, and AIRTaaS to Help Enterprises Bring Discipline, Reasoning, and Security to AI Adoption
TROY, Mich., May 26th, 2026, ZEX PR WIRE — Enterprises are moving faster with AI than ever before. But many are also quietly losing comprehension of the systems they are building.
Engineering teams now generate code, workflows, automations, and AI-driven decisions at unprecedented speed using tools like Claude, Codex, Cursor, and enterprise copilots. While productivity has increased, organizations are also experiencing a new operational challenge: more meetings, fragmented workflows, inconsistent outputs, security concerns, architecture drift, and growing difficulty understanding how systems actually work together.
![]()
Giggso calls this problem “comprehension debt” — the growing gap between AI-generated velocity and organizational understanding.
Today, Giggso announced Raven, Andie, and AIRTaaS, three offerings designed to help enterprises reduce comprehension debt and bring discipline, reasoning, and continuous security testing into AI adoption at scale.
Together, the offerings form the front door into GSD (Giggso Security Domain), Giggso’s broader architecture for governing, securing, and operationalizing enterprise AI systems.
“At a small scale, AI feels magical,” said Ravi Venugopal, Founder and CEO of Giggso. “At enterprise scale, it can quickly become operational chaos. Teams move faster, but understanding drops. Meetings increase. Ownership blurs. AI starts producing more than organizations can realistically comprehend or govern. That is the problem we are solving.”
At the center of the announcement is Raven, Giggso’s discipline layer for AI-assisted software development.
Raven is designed to help organizations enforce engineering discipline inside AI-driven development workflows before problems reach production. Rather than acting as a traditional code scanner after development is complete, Raven introduces governance, architecture awareness, policy enforcement, and review controls directly into AI-assisted coding environments.
The platform helps organizations identify risks such as:
- architecture drift
- unapproved libraries
- exposed secrets
- policy violations
- insecure dependencies
- undocumented AI-generated logic
- uncontrolled AI usage patterns
The goal is not to slow development, but to preserve organizational understanding as teams move at AI speed.
“AI can now generate code faster than teams can comprehend it,” Ravi said. “Without discipline, enterprises accumulate technical debt, security exposure, and operational confusion at machine speed. Raven helps organizations preserve engineering quality and architectural understanding while still moving fast.”
Giggso also introduced Andie, a structured reasoning engine designed to help enterprises improve contextual thinking and operational decision-making across teams.
Unlike traditional chatbot-style AI interfaces that generate isolated answers, Andie is designed to help organizations reason through problems with context, constraints, and multiple perspectives in mind. The platform is intended to support operational workflows across delivery, strategy, planning, support, and execution environments.
Giggso believes one of the biggest failures in enterprise AI adoption is not a lack of intelligence, but a loss of shared understanding.
“Most organizations do not need another chatbot,” Ravi said. “They need systems that help teams think more clearly together. AI should reduce confusion, not multiply it. Andie is designed to strengthen organizational reasoning, preserve context, and reduce the fragmentation that happens when every team operates with disconnected AI outputs.”
To address the growing security risks around enterprise AI adoption, Giggso is also expanding AIRTaaS, its AI Red Teaming as a Service platform.
As enterprises deploy AI agents, copilots, retrieval systems, and autonomous workflows into production, traditional security testing approaches are increasingly insufficient. AI systems can fail through prompt injection, hallucinations, role-boundary violations, tool misuse, unsafe autonomy, data leakage, and adversarial manipulation.
AIRTaaS continuously stress-tests AI systems against these real-world failure scenarios before they become operational incidents.
The platform combines:
- AI red teaming
- observability
- governance workflows
- incident tracking
- remediation guidance
- human-led adversarial testing
To strengthen its execution capabilities, Giggso has partnered with Seiance India, a woman-owned AI security startup based in Chennai, India, whose product, Trinity, is an AI security and observability platform.
“AIRTaaS turns AI security into an operational discipline instead of a compliance checkbox,” said Abhinaya, CEO of Seiance India P Ltd.
“Enterprises need continuous stress testing because AI systems are constantly evolving. Our focus is helping organizations identify weaknesses early, validate resilience continuously, and improve trust in production AI systems.”
Giggso also announced that portions of AIRTaaS and related tooling will be free for Individual Developers, while core Enterprise developer-focused red teaming capabilities will be low-cost and easy to certify for teams.
The company said the decision reflects a growing concern about “AI washing” — where organizations overstate AI capabilities without sufficient operational rigor — and the rise of “AI slop,” low-quality AI-generated outputs that appear acceptable on the surface but fail under real operational conditions.
“We believe AI adoption needs more honesty, more discipline, and far more operational accountability,” Ravi said. “The future belongs to organizations that can scale AI without losing security, comprehension, governance, and trust in the process.”
Raven, Andie, and AIRTaaS are part of GSD (Giggso Security Domain), Giggso’s enterprise architecture for governing AI systems, coding workflows, observability, orchestration, reasoning, and AI operational security across the enterprise.

Caladan Launches API Liquidity: Institutional Access to Aggregated Digital Asset Liquidity Across 100+ Tokens
Singapore, May 26th, 2026, ZEX PR WIRE — Institutional counterparties can now access executable streaming prices and RFQ liquidity for spot and perpetuals on 100+ digital assets through the Caladan API, launched today by Caladan, the largest Asia-headquartered market maker for digital assets.
1.png)
Built on nearly a decade of active trading, Caladan continuously aggregates pricing and depth from 20+ on-chain protocols, 47+ centralised exchange integrations, and bilateral relationships. The result is a single pricing feed that delivers tighter spreads, higher fill rates, and full depth on long-tail tokens.
“Fragmentation is the defining liquidity challenge in digital assets today. A single exchange, a single counterparty, or a single OTC desk will always have an incomplete view of price and depth. We have spent nine years building the infrastructure to see the whole market simultaneously, and API Liquidity makes that infrastructure available to institutional participants through a single API connection.” – John Gu, CEO, Caladan
Why aggregation produces better pricing
Digital asset liquidity is highly fragmented across centralised exchanges, decentralised protocols, regional venues, bilateral broker-dealers, and OTC desks. Caladan’s sourcing model is the commercial differentiator. The firm facilitates over $170 billion in annual trading volume across more than 100 assets, which means its pricing engine is continuously calibrated against a wider range of market signals. The more heterogeneous the sourcing — on-chain, off-chain, bilateral, and platform-routed simultaneously — the tighter the spread and the deeper the available size at any given price point.
The broadest token coverage of any market maker
API Liquidity provides access to the top 100 tokens — the widest token coverage available from any market maker globally. Coverage spans spot and perpetuals.
For institutional participants managing diversified digital asset portfolios or building crypto-embedded products, this breadth eliminates the need to maintain multiple liquidity provider relationships to cover the full token universe.
Flexible connectivity and settlement
API Liquidity is designed for immediate integration with minimal development overhead. Counterparties can connect through the channel that fits their existing workflow:
-
Direct API: Native FIX connectivity (4.2, 4.4, 5.0) for firms that prefer a direct bilateral connection
-
Platform partners: Desks already connected to Talos, Finery Markets, or CrossX can access Caladan liquidity with no additional integration work
Settlement is handled through institutional partners, with options for fiat and stablecoins:
-
Hidden Road and BitGo Go Network for custodial settlement
-
Customers Bank CUBIX for fiat settlement in USD
-
USDT and USDC settlement available directly
Competitive credit and margin terms are available for qualifying counterparties. Fiat currency pairs including EUR and JPY are in development, with additional currencies in the pipeline.
About Caladan
Caladan is Asia’s largest digital asset market maker, headquartered in Singapore with teams across seven global offices. Since 2017, Caladan has facilitated over $170 billion in annual trading volume, operating across 65+ exchanges worldwide. The firm provides market-making, OTC trading, DeFi expertise, and investments to institutional participants globally.
