Labrys raises £14.7m led by Plural to expand its frontline workforce management platform.

London-based technology firm Labrys has secured £14.7m in a funding round led by Plural, with additional participation from AlbionVC, Superangel, Project A, MDOne, Expeditions Fund and Marque Ventures. The fresh capital brings the company's total funding to $25.5m. Labrys plans to direct the proceeds towards scaling its engineering and operations teams, developing artificial intelligence capabilities and introducing new deployment models to meet rising global demand for secure operational tools.

Founded by military veterans August Lersten and Luke Wattam, the company provides Axiom, an end-to-end command and control platform that incorporates biometric verification, geo-tagging and stablecoin payments. The system is designed to help humanitarian organisations, logistics providers and defence forces coordinate workforces in volatile regions lacking traditional banking infrastructure. Since raising its seed round in 2023, the firm has achieved seven-figure annual revenues through contracts spanning government clients, logistics and disaster response.
