Dig Ventures led the pre-seed financing round to support product development and international growth.
Desia builds artificial intelligence systems designed to automate productivity and analytics for financial services professionals. The platform extracts unstructured data to streamline investment research and workflows.
Desia has secured £2.5m in pre-seed funding led by Dig Ventures to accelerate product development and growth. The round drew participation from 2100 Ventures, Exor Ventures, and Octopus Ventures, alongside several prominent angel investors including Niccolo Maisto, Mark Ransford, and Massimo della Ragione. Founded by veterans of Scalapay, Advent International, and Goldman Sachs, the company aims to eliminate manual data sorting for investment professionals through advanced automation. The fresh capital will support the team as they scale their technology for complex financial analysis across the UK, US, and continental Europe.
From the founder
"I recall regularly sifting through data and information until the early hours during my time at Goldman Sachs in order to make fully informed decisions and strategies. With Desia the whole process would have been more efficient and successful. I wish it was available back then."
Raffaele Terrone
CEO at Desia
Investor perspective
"Desia’s founding team, marked by their impeccable execution and deep market insight, is perfectly positioned to address an essential challenge within the financial industry. This reminds me vividly of the formative days at MuleSoft, where we similarly targeted a critical inefficiency in the market. Their innovative approach to automating data analysis leveraging AI promises substantial advancements in productivity for finance professionals."
