TUBR, the machine-learning-as-a-service (MLaaS) innovator developing physics-based predictive technology, today announced it has raised £154,000 in funding from angel investors since July. The investment will accelerate development and deployment of TUBR Pulse – the company’s real-time prediction platform designed specifically for cafés, restaurants and grocery retailers.
TUBR’s platform uses a physics-based modelling approach rather than traditional statistical methods, enabling accurate real-time predictions even when data is incomplete or sparse. This breakthrough allows food retailers, who often operate with inconsistent or limited data, to make fast, informed decisions based on reliable insights.
TUBR Pulse is engineered to help food retail operators optimise staffing, reduce waste, streamline supply chains and better understand customer behaviour. Its ability to work effectively with imperfect datasets offers a significant operational advantage in a sector where data challenges are common.
“For years, operational teams have been forced to make decisions based on partial or unreliable data.” said Dash Tabor, Founder and CEO of TUBR. “With TUBR Pulse, we’re removing that barrier. Our technology gives businesses the confidence to act on real-time insights no matter how messy the data behind them may be.
The round, which continues, includes investment from Lifted Ventures, a leading UK angel investment network, championing female founders in regions outside of London.
Dash continued: “This investment enables us to accelerate development and expand the impact of predictive intelligence across the food retail industry. We’re especially grateful for the support of the Lifted Ventures angel community, whose backing strengthens our mission and fuels our next stage of growth.”
“TUBR is tackling one of the biggest challenges in data-driven operations – creating reliable predictions from sparse data,” said Jordan Dargue, Co-Founder of Lifted Ventures. “Dash and her team have developed a genuinely novel approach with the potential to transform how food retailers make daily decisions. We’re proud to support their growth at this crucial stage.”
“We look for founders solving real, measurable problems with scalable technology, and TUBR fits that profile perfectly,” added Helen Oldham, Co-Founder of Lifted Ventures. “The team’s vision for accessible, real-time predictive analytics is compelling, and we’re excited to back their mission as they bring TUBR Pulse to market.”
The investment will support product development, expand the technical team and fund pilot programmes with food retail partners.
Based in Sheffield, TUBR continues to establish itself as a deep-tech innovator, redefining real-time prediction for industries where traditional data models fall short.
