London has quietly become one of the deepest benches of applied AI talent outside Silicon Valley. The city’s scale-ups are not chasing headlines about general intelligence; they are automating trade finance paperwork, giving enterprises governance over their AI agents, teaching drones to inspect infrastructure, and rebuilding customer service, wealth management, and surgical imaging around machine learning that actually ships. From AI-native databases to agentic money movement platforms, from waste intelligence to hyperspectral surgical tools, these are the companies proving that London’s AI ecosystem is built on revenue and deployment, not just research papers.
Companies are listed in alphabetical order. This list is non-exhaustive.
1. 1001 AI
Headquarters: London, England, United Kingdom | Total Funding: $39.0M | Last Funding: June 30, 2026
Enterprises adopting AI at scale keep running into the same wall: the infrastructure and decision-automation layers built for the pre-AI era were not designed to support agents making decisions in real time, at volume, across departments. Bridging that gap requires deep-tech infrastructure, not another point solution bolted onto legacy systems.
1001 AI is a deep-tech artificial intelligence startup building AI infrastructure and decision-automation platforms for exactly that transition. With $39 million in total funding and a fresh round closed at the end of June 2026, the company is positioned to expand its infrastructure footprint as more enterprises move from AI pilots to AI-run operations.
2. Adfin
Headquarters: London, England, United Kingdom | Total Funding: $31.2M | Last Funding: May 12, 2026
Getting paid remains one of the most manual, error-prone parts of running a business. Invoicing, reconciliation, and payment collection are still handled through a patchwork of spreadsheets, emails, and legacy payment rails that were never built to move money at the speed modern businesses need.
Adfin is the fintech company closing that gap with an agentic money movement platform designed to automate and accelerate how businesses get paid. Having raised $31.2 million to date, with its most recent funding landing in May 2026, Adfin is building toward a future where collections and reconciliation run on autonomous agents rather than finance teams chasing invoices.
3. DigitalGenius
Headquarters: London, England, United Kingdom | Total Funding: $31.4M | Last Funding: September 19, 2025
Customer service teams are drowning in repetitive, high-volume questions, many of them predictable variations on order status, returns, and shipping delays that do not need a human to resolve but still consume enormous support capacity when handled manually.
DigitalGenius provides AI-powered customer service automation that handles both pre-purchase and post-purchase questions across support channels, freeing human agents for the conversations that actually need them. The company has raised $31.4 million in total funding, with its last round closing in September 2025, and continues to expand its footprint among retail and e-commerce brands looking to automate support without sacrificing customer experience.
4. Ethos
Headquarters: London, England, United Kingdom | Total Funding: $26.0M | Last Funding: May 6, 2026
Matching people with the right opportunities, whether jobs, programs, or services, has always been a data problem disguised as a human one. The organizations doing the matching typically have far more signal available than they use, and far less time than they need to use it well.
Ethos is an AI-driven platform built to close that gap, matching individuals with opportunities using AI rather than static filters and keyword searches. The company has raised $26 million to date, with its most recent funding round closing in May 2026, as it scales a model built on more precise, data-driven matching.
5. Fanvue
Headquarters: London, England, United Kingdom | Total Funding: $26.0M | Last Funding: January 16, 2026
Creator monetization platforms have historically taken a large cut of creator revenue while offering limited tools for creators to actually grow their audience or diversify their income streams. The next generation of these platforms is being built around AI-driven tools that give creators and developers more direct control over monetization.
Fanvue is the AI-driven developer monetization platform positioning itself at that intersection. Having raised $26 million in total funding, with its last round closing in January 2026, Fanvue continues to build out the infrastructure that lets creators and developers turn engagement directly into revenue.
6. Fifth Dimension AI
Headquarters: London, England, United Kingdom | Total Funding: $35.8M | Last Funding: May 11, 2026
Real-assets investing, spanning infrastructure, real estate, and other physical asset classes, has historically lagged behind public markets in decision intelligence. The data exists, but the tools to synthesize it into investable insight in real time have not kept pace with the complexity of the asset class.
Fifth Dimension AI is the decision intelligence platform built specifically for real-assets investors, giving them the analytical layer that public markets have had for years. The company has raised $35.8 million to date, with its most recent funding closing in May 2026, as it deepens its footprint among institutional real-assets allocators.
7. Fyxer AI
Headquarters: London, England, United Kingdom | Total Funding: $40.0M | Last Funding: March 19, 2026

The company has raised $31.1 million in total funding, with its last round closing in April 2026, as it works to bring hyperspectral imaging into more operating theaters.
14. MDOTM Ltd.
Headquarters: London, England, United Kingdom | Total Funding: $36.5M | Last Funding: July 6, 2026
Institutional investors manage portfolios of a size and complexity that increasingly demand AI-driven decision support, yet many still rely on tools built for an earlier, less data-intensive era of asset management.
MDOTM Ltd. is a global provider of AI-driven solutions for institutional investors, built to close that gap. With $36.5 million in total funding, including a round that closed in early July 2026, MDOTM is one of the more recently capitalized companies on this list, reflecting continued institutional appetite for AI-native investment tools.
15. Mimica Automation
Headquarters: London, England, United Kingdom | Total Funding: $32.2M | Last Funding: September 24, 2025
Most enterprises do not actually know how work gets done inside their own organizations. Processes are documented on paper but executed differently in practice, and the gap between the two is where transformation projects quietly fail before they even start.
Mimica Automation’s AI task mining and process intelligence platform captures how work is genuinely performed across the enterprise, then delivers a roadmap to transform it based on what it actually finds rather than what policy assumes. The company has raised $32.2 million to date, with its most recent funding closing in September 2025, as it expands its process intelligence footprint across large enterprises.
16. Nevis
Headquarters: London, England, United Kingdom | Total Funding: $40.0M | Last Funding: December 1, 2025
Wealth management has remained one of the more manual corners of financial services, with advisors relying on generalist tools rather than platforms purpose-built for the specific workflows, compliance requirements, and client relationships the industry demands.
Nevis describes itself as the world’s first AI-powered platform designed specifically for wealth management, built around the needs of advisors and the clients they serve. Having raised $40 million in total funding, with its last round closing in December 2025, Nevis is positioning itself at the front of an industry that has been slower than most to modernize.
17. nPlan
Headquarters: London, England, United Kingdom | Total Funding: $38.4M | Last Funding: October 17, 2025
Large infrastructure and construction projects are notorious for running over schedule, often because risk is identified too late to do anything about it. Project teams need schedule certainty, not just a schedule, and certainty requires forecasting risk before it materializes rather than reacting to it after the fact.
nPlan applies artificial intelligence to provide exactly that schedule certainty, highlighting risk and suggesting optimal execution paths for major projects before delays occur. The company has raised $38.4 million in total funding, with its most recent round closing in October 2025, as it continues to work with owners and contractors on large-scale infrastructure programs.
18. Paid
Headquarters: London, England, United Kingdom | Total Funding: $32.4M | Last Funding: September 28, 2025
As AI agents move from experimental to commercial, a basic question remains unresolved for most businesses: how do you actually charge for the value an agent creates, bill for it accurately, and build a sustainable business model around it.
Paid is building the business engine for AI agents, giving companies the commercial infrastructure to monetize agentic products. The company has raised $32.4 million in total funding, with its last round closing in September 2025, as more businesses look to turn AI agents from cost centers into revenue lines.
