Oxford spinout Animal Dynamics secures first round of funding two months after launch.
Oxford University’s tech transfer arm Isis Innovation has become the first to place a bet on Animal Dynamics, a spinout from the institution developing animal-inspired engineering solutions for transport.
The investment was made through the Parkwalk Advisors-managed University of Oxford Isis Fund, which focuses on providing seed funding to the institution’s spinouts. Details of the round were not disclosed.
Launched in September, the company is investigating a number of potential long term opportunities using its intellectual property, but is presently focusing on transforming research into bird flight and fish swimming into a functional water craft.
