Try Dealroom → spin-out, has raised £140,500 (roughly $187,937) in an angel round backed by the S100 Angel Investment Club and Henley Business AngelsDealroom has a profile for this one. Try Dealroom →. The company builds computational fluid dynamics (CFD) software that models how air, water, oil and gas behave to help firms design and optimise products.
What's the endgame? Morpheus Fluid's meshless simulation technology removes the need for complex mesh generation, cutting setup time and opening high-quality fluid modelling to non-experts. The software targets aerospace, automotive, energy, marine, and environmental modelling, including flood prevention.
Why now? The £140,500 forms the foundation of the current round, which the company is working to complete with a further £100,000 through Henley Business Angels. The S100 Club, a University of Surrey not-for-profit network, connects spin-outs with angel investors.
The money trail: Alongside the equity, Morpheus Fluid has secured over £275,000 in grants. That includes up to £200,000 from Innovate UKDealroom has a profile for this one. Try Dealroom → for drone and aerospace simulation, developed with two UK drone companies, and £75,000 from Surrey County CouncilDealroom has a profile for this one. Try Dealroom → for its cloud-based SaaS platform.
The startup, based at Surrey Research Park, is building traction across flood risk, insurance, motorsport, and aerospace, with pilot projects underway with SMEs. It reports faster, more accurate results in some flood modelling scenarios than industry-standard tools.
The signal: At roughly $188,000, the round sits near the smaller end of the funding spectrum — a reminder that university spin-outs often bootstrap deep-tech commercialisation through a blend of angel capital and public grants rather than large venture cheques.
