Mindflair (AIM:MFAI) shares have risen 10.0% to 0.55p after SVV2-led US$1.5m pre-seed into game-testing start-up ManaMind, the company said.
ManaMind is a London‑based developer of autonomous AI agents for game testing whose platform plays through games, identifies bugs and generates actionable reports to reduce repetitive manual QA work for studios.
Other investors in the round included EWOR, Ascension, Syndicate Room and Heartfelt, and ManaMind has secured design partnerships with Included Games and Crazy Labs.
"ManaMind represents an interesting application of agentic AI in the global games industry, where quality assurance remains a significant cost and operational challenge for studios," said Nicholas Lee, Director of Mindflair.
