The Manchester-based startup will use the capital to expand its local team and accelerate growth in international markets.
"AI has made it easier than ever to start a business, but the real challenge arises when it comes to growing them. There’s a general understanding about what’s needed: more outbound, trying LinkedIn ads and testing more. But many simply don’t have the time to run this activity themselves, nor have the budget to hire a dedicated growth team."
Most rounds here started life as a press release.
Winfred reads them overnight, pulls out the facts, checks them against Companies House and files them. It was built by C8VA, who do the same kind of work for other businesses: turning messy, unstructured material into something you can search, count and rely on.
Headline led the Series A investment to help the company accelerate product development and expand its international presence.
"AI‑driven discovery is rewriting how customers find products, and the economics are moving fast. As more searches are answered directly by AI, brands that are invisible in this layer of search will simply see less demand. The companies that adapt first will protect and grow market share; those that don’t will lose it quietly. We backed Semrush early as the category leader and exited following its IPO at around a $2B market cap. Now, we see a new generation of businesses coming up and Searchable is primed to win this market, which is why we are ecstatic to lead the current round."
The Liverpool City Region technology platform raised £2.4m led by NPIF II, PXN Equity Finance to double its headcount and scale internationally.
"Too many brands are only looking at page views, time on site and clicks as their go-to metrics without tapping into their customers’ level of intent, leading to missed opportunities. Intent data not only reveals each visitor’s mindset, but because it updates as they shop, it lets you deliver experiences right at the optimal moments."
The pre-seed round was backed by Haatch and Nicolas Dessaigne to support product development.
"Too many businesses are forced to guess where their marketing budget is working. We built Decima2 to replace assumptions with evidence, so teams can confidently invest in what actually drives results. This funding allows us to double down on building a product that makes advanced optimisation accessible, not intimidating."
The £7m investment was led by Pembroke VCT with participation from 212, Active Partners, Velocity, and TIBAS Ventures.
"When we launched Bolt Insight in 2019, our mission was to bring real consumer voices into the heart of business decision-making. With the launch of BoltChatAI in 2022, we proved that AI-moderated qualitative research could deliver rich insight at unprecedented speed and scale."
