Pre-Seed

The oversubscribed round was led by Venrex with participation from 8VC, Form Ventures, and several venture scout funds.

"With the adoption of AI in creative tools, the amount of creative work is now growing by 30% a year. For example, last year, more photographs were generated than have ever been taken by human photographers. So, we’ve been asking ourselves ‘what infrastructure is going to be needed to manage this volume of work?’. One problem that doesn’t scale well is issue checking – there’s no Grammarly for creative work and to date this tedious work is still done by eye. Beyond issue checking, we believe AI provides creatives with insights akin to accessing a panel of experts. We see the role of AI as enabling people’s creative processes, not replacing them"

Speedinvest led the pre-seed round, which will fund international expansion and product development.

"Lenders are losing a significant portion of their economics to third-party fees and endless structuring processes. We want to help them claim back that value by simplifying their access to a broader range of financing options. This will ultimately benefit their clients, consumers and small businesses of the real economy, at a time where innovative credit, payment, and embedded finance products are rapidly growing. Our solution is applicable to any finance product. We are here to support any lender, anywhere, and help them scale their operations."
— Michael Elalouf, co-founder

The seed round was led by Accel with participation from several prominent institutional funds and angel investors.

"The vast majority of marketers’ time is spent on work other than copy generation, so we see significant potential in augmenting and automating these tasks. To do this, we’ve combined the latest AI technologies (retrieval augmented generation, autonomous agents and multi-modal models) to chain together workflows that capture more of marketers’ repetitive activities, giving them time back to focus on higher impact tasks. We’re excited to continue on this mission with this new investment round and having the Accel team join us on this journey."

The financing round includes backing from Kima Ventures alongside a UKRI award to adapt the digital health coach for older adults.

"Age UK Lewisham and Southwark exists to improve the lives of older people, working towards a future in which all people are valued, safe, and empowered to make choices about their lives."
