Kinisis Ventures portfolio companies opened 2026 with stronger sales, product rollouts and market expansion across both KVF I and KVF II, as several startups moved from development into commercial execution during the first quarter, according to the fund’s latest portfolio newsletter.

Among the strongest performers, Threedium posted its best opening quarter on record, surpassing $500,000 in new licence revenue for the first time.

The company also built a pipeline exceeding $10 million and used NVIDIA GTC to announce its Agentic Product Brain, pointing to further growth in AI-driven commerce tools.

Elsewhere, Autonomics moved further into live hospitality deployments, with its technology now operating at the Four Seasons Astir Palace and Astir Marina in Athens.

That commercial progress came alongside a BOOST grant from the Cyprus Research and Innovation Foundation (RIF), adding to the company’s expansion in high-end hospitality environments.

Embio Diagnostics also continued to widen its international reach, with operations now extending to more than 15 countries.

At the same time, the company was selected to present at SusHi Tech Tokyo 2026 at Google for Startups, while pushing ahead with the rollout of its Prometheus and Athena devices.

IREROBOT, meanwhile, strengthened its internationalisation efforts after joining Google for Startups and securing $100,000 in cloud credits.

The company also submitted its Bluetooth XR Kit to the Unity Store and continued advancing its US market entry through the YBI Engine Tech Incubator.

The quarter also brought progress across other portfolio companies. Promed moved into scale-up mode and brought a cosmetics client onboard, while Heroes Made expanded its US distribution footprint across five states.

What is more, Hydrogen Energy Systems (HES) identified patentable elements in its reactor design, Darefore prepared a Kickstarter campaign, and EQQU advanced towards a soft launch after bringing in more than 100 field testers.

In maritime and training technology, Ascanio rebuilt and relaunched SENERA as an AI-powered training platform, while preparing the Connexus remote access module for alpha deployment aboard selected vessels.
