Microsol

A big welcome to Microsol, the latest startup to join our portfolio!

Microsol is building seriously impressive tech to shake up the world of inhaled medicines. Founded by Dr. Dan Hardy, they’ve developed a way to analyse aerosol particles at a microscopic level—helping pharma companies design better, smarter respiratory drugs.

We’re backing them alongside the brilliant team at Zinc VC as part of their £500k pre-seed round. One of those startups that’s both properly deep tech and solving a real problem.

“Investment from AIB is a major milestone for Microsol,” said Dan. “The benefit of discussing the company in detail with AIB’s members, drawing on their own experience, has been greatly valuable. Their belief in Microsol and their backing is a key part of our journey as we now look with excitement to our next steps.”

“Personally, I am grateful for the backing from AIB and the South-West region. Building a company with local support is a pleasure and it's great to be growing the business in Bristol,” Dan added.

Thanks also to Nathan Guest and Emma Richards at VWV for helping Microsol close the round.

This marks Angel Investors Bristol’s 8th investment since launching at the end of 2023—proof that there’s no shortage of brilliant founders building from the South West.

One to watch!
