Zelim

Merry Christmas to all our wonderful customers, partners and our team of amazing individuals getting it done! It has been a fantastic year for us and we are very excited to get back at it next year! It turns out that Santa can also drive a boat and will be finding you with Zoe to deliver presents ‘swiftly’ over the next 48 hours! Look forward to seeing you all next year!

Great Milestone for the company!! Credit must go to the team, investors and customers who have backed us thus far. We also like to welcome Ali Clark and Paul Jourdan who join us at board level helping to drive the business forward!

Christmas has arrived early for Zelim this year, with the company receiving £5.2 million in equity funding from the Amati AIM VCT fund managed by Amati Global Investors, existing investors and a number of new private investors, following the successful closure of Series A investment. Receiving funding from this investment round, following successful previous rounds, is a testament to the hard work our team has put to these funding projects. Series A is typically most difficult, due to the relatively high value of the investment required, so hat’s off to all those involved. This funding not only shows the confidence that the market has in the company and our ZOE, SWIFT and GUARDIAN products, but it helps us implement our ambitious strategy to ensure Search and Rescue communities all around the world have access to groundbreaking technology designed to save lives. Alan Gilbert , Zelim’s CFO, says the company has also secured an additional £1.95m of capital  from Innovate UK’s Innovation Loan programme, which will fund ongoing development of the ZOE product line. “We are delighted to welcome Amati AIM VCT as a new shareholder in Zelim. Amati AIM VCT, along with all our sponsors are investing at a key point in Zelim’s growth journey. It has been an incredible journey so far and 2025 is set deliver new opportunities as the maritime industries look to strengthen their Search & Rescue capabilities.” Underscoring the importance of Series A investment to continued growth, Zelim CEO and founder Sam Mayall says: “As the year comes to an end, we can look now forward to a exciting 2025 as we light the torch on expanding commercial operations across the Americas, Middle East and Asia where there is strong demand for our life-saving technology. After initial seed funding, we thank and all our investors and customers for helping make 2024 such a milestone year. Thank you!”

We are delighted to announce that our ZOE Intelligent Detection system has been shortlisted for the Riviera Maritime Media Ltd The Offshore Support Journal Community Safety Award 2025. It is quite startling that 40% of all man-overboard incidents result in fatality, with more than 1000 people falling overboard annually. But widespread use of our AI-based technology can significantly reduce this high and unnecessary number of fatalities. Developed in collaboration with U.S. Coast Guard, ZOE improves the probability of detection and continued tracking with almost 100% accuracy. To help steer the maritime industry towards the recovery of significantly more MOB casualties, cast your vote at: https://lnkd.in/dTd_2j9t We encourage all our colleagues, contacts and friends to vote before the voting window closes on the 20th of January. A vote for ZOE could result in more lives saved at sea! #maritime #safety #seafarers #ship #offshore #manoverboard #shipping
