Exactly secures £3.4m seed funding led by Speedinvest to expand its artist platform
The seed round was led by Speedinvest to support product development and international expansion.
Exactly operates a generative artificial intelligence platform that allows artists to train proprietary models on their own work. The system enables creators to scale production and commercialise designs while retaining legal ownership.
Exactly has secured £3.4m in seed funding to expand its technical capabilities and reach a broader community of artists. The round was led by Speedinvest, with participation from InReach Ventures, Cornerstone VC, and GuruDev Capital, alongside a group of international angels and funds. The capital will support technology development, team growth, and international outreach.
The London-based platform allows creators to train custom artificial intelligence models based on individual artistic practices. Since its launch in 2023, the service has registered 30,000 users worldwide who use the software to produce and license designs at scale.
From the founder
"AI’s role in the creative industries has been hotly debated for a long time now, and understandably, many professional artists have concerns over how its growing influence will impact their creativity and their livelihoods. But we are firm believers that there is a world in which the two not only exist, but work together to produce outstanding results."
