Siguler Guff has provided £11.4m in private equity backing to help launch the AI-focused consultancy.
"Advice from traditional consultancies is never impartial. You don’t know if the guidance you’re being given is right for your business, or theirs. And they lack the skills and expertise to really understand the AI revolution – you’re effectively paying for their transformation while trying to navigate your own. Valliance will always be independent. Our team of experts has a single aim: to help businesses reduce time to AI value. We’re not here to sell licenses – we’re here to deliver solutions that work for business, and with the existing IT estate."
Haatch led the pre-seed round, which includes contributions from the British Business Bank and the East Midlands Combined County Authority.
"As a trusted advisor to financial services boards, I kept seeing the same pattern: teams got excited about the potential of generative AI but then hit a wall when asked about governance and compliance. We founded Vigilant AI.ai because the toolset to answer those questions simply didn’t exist. Our platform enables people in the business to onboard AI Teammates where work happens whilst real-time guardrails and audit logs protect and govern. Customers gain AI productivity at speed, with regulatory compliant trust."
The Series B round was led by Yttrium to fund international expansion and technology development.
"This round reflects the strong momentum behind our technology and the measurable results it is delivering for customers worldwide. With the new funding, we can expand our footprint faster and continue shaping the future of digital fuel management."
The seed round features participation from Y Combinator and Global Founders Capital to support multi-language expansion.
"In the era of AI, developers are writing apps faster than ever with the help of coding agents like GitHub Copilot or Claude Code. Deploying and running these applications as fast as creating them is the next major frontier and Shuttle is uniquely positioned to be a leader in this space and enable quick iteration cycles for every full-stack builder."
