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."
The funding round was led by Northern Gritstone with participation from Amadeus Capital Partners, Manta Ray, Mercia Ventures and NPIF, Mercia Equity Finance.
