Vente AI raises £500k in pre-seed funding led by Antler to scale recruitment automation technology.
The pre-seed round was led by Antler with backing from angel investors to accelerate product development and team growth.
Vente AI builds artificial intelligence automation tools designed to streamline business development for recruitment agencies. The platform helps reduce sales costs and automates time-consuming tasks for industry professionals.
Vente AI has secured £500k in a pre-seed funding round led by Antler, alongside participation from several high-profile angel investors including Thomas Vose. Established six months ago in London, the company automates business development tasks for recruitment agencies to lower sales costs. The capital will be deployed to drive product development, expand the team, and build new functionality.
The startup provides automated lead identification, analysis, and prioritisation to address the labour-intensive processes that consume significant time for recruiters. Its platform has been live for two months, during which early adopters generated over £300k in additional revenue. The fresh funds will also support integrations with existing recruitment tools to quicken adoption rates.
From the founder
"I spent over 12 years working in the recruitment industry and know how time consuming business development can be. Recruiters use manual processes to match the best candidates with great companies. Automating these processes will reduce costs and increase productivity for recruiters, which could have a significant impact on one of the UK’s largest professional services industry, and create a more efficient and competitive employment market in the process."
