5. Alpha 311
How much are they raising: N/A
Website: www.alpha-311.com
SEIS/EIS? EIS pending.
About: Alpha 311 has developed a wind turbine designed to deliver energy exactly where it’s needed, turning existing infrastructure into a source of clean power rather than relying on remote wind farms.
Traditional wind energy typically has a placement problem. Big turbines need space, planning permission and transmission infrastructure to carry the power to where it’s used. Alpha 311 flips that model, with a turbine built to integrate into the infrastructure that already surrounds us and generate energy at the point of demand.

6. Spice Dept
How much are they raising: N/A
Website: www.spicedebt.com
SEIS/EIS? EIS pending.
About: Spice Debt is on a mission to upgrade the UK spice aisle, sourcing fresh, single-origin spices with a focus on exceptional flavour and fair pay to the farmers who grow them.
The spices most of us cook with have often sat on shelves for months, blended from multiple sources and stripped of much of their character before they reach the pan. Spice Dept treats spices with the same care and provenance-first thinking that’s transformed coffee and chocolate – single-origin, fresh and traceable back to the source.
