Spotlight Pathology makes AI software that reads digital pathology slides to help specialists sort and diagnose blood cancers such as lymphoma faster and more consistently, with a built-in second opinion.
Spotlight Pathology builds AI-driven pathology tools designed with clinicians: sample classification and triage, an in-built second opinion and automated cell counting, with published research on lymphoma triage from H&E slides. It was founded by Richard Byers, a consultant haematopathologist, and Martin Fergie, an AI specialist, and is based at the Sci-Tech Daresbury campus in the Liverpool City Region; Sam Perona is chief executive. In March 2026 it raised a GBP 1.4 million seed round co-led by the UK Innovation and Science Seed Fund and the Liverpool City Region Seed Fund, with River Capital, Deepbridge, EHE Ventures and Lyva Labs.
