"ComplyStream is addressing a critical pain point for financial institutions.

"Capsa AI has received such a positive reaction from investors and customers alike because we are using AI to address a clear and pressing challenge in one of the world’s biggest industries. We are already driving productivity and efficiency in major PE firms and I have every confidence that we can build a product which will transform collaboration, knowledge sharing and decision making in private equity and private capital worldwide."
The seed round was co-led by Ascension and Cornerstone to fund product development and company expansion.
"Over my 15 years in the wealth management space, I’ve seen the stark contrast between those who can afford continuous financial advice and the majority who cannot. This inspired me to create a solution accessible to everyone, regardless of their financial status. Jarvis is designed to provide clarity and empower individuals to enjoy their lives now while planning effectively for the future. Traditional advice often centres on saving for a rainy day, but we understand that people want to live fulfilling lives today. Our platform helps users balance current enjoyment with future security. This investment will support our continued growth as we integrate with the broader ecosystem."
Seaya led the Series A investment to help the workforce platform expand its product suite and grow in North America.
"We started our business because we believed that the next generation deserved a new way to operate their professional lives, and we realised that if we could reimagine career infrastructure end-to-end for the 21st century, businesses would also be enabled to operate in a more agile way, one that drives more efficient growth."
The seed round was led by Speedinvest to support product development and international expansion.
"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.
