Dataline Labs is a London-based AI data analysis firm that provides strategic insights across enterprise divisions through its platform, MIRA AI. The company serves clients across sectors including manufacturing, retail, property, professional sports, and defence.

Dataline Labs has secured £740k in pre-seed funding led by Haatch Ventures, with participation from the British Business Bank and angel investors. The fresh capital will be deployed to expand the team, roll out its MIRA AI platform to enterprise clients, and execute defence projects.

Alongside the raise, the startup has been selected for the Ministry of Defence Digital Supply Chain Hub Defence Testbed Accelerator. The company will collaborate with major defence contractors to address data challenges across UK defence supply chains.

From the founder

"We spent years watching companies drown in their own data. The information was there, but getting to it meant waiting on overloaded engineering or data teams, with dozens of tasks ahead of yours! We started Dataline Labs because we believed there had to be a faster way – and now we’re proving it with a vote of confidence from investors and the MoD."

Evan Shapiro

CEO at Dataline Labs

Investor perspective

"Evan and Chris have built something genuinely impressive in a short space of time. Two first-time founders going from zero to MoD selection in a short period of time tells you everything about the quality of the technology and the team. We’re excited to back them as they scale."
