techspert.io raises £3.76M Series A funding

techspert.io, an AI-driven technology for mapping the world‘s expertise and connecting businesses directly to the source of technical and market insights, has raised a £3.76 million Series A round.

The funding round was led by Pan-European VC Nauta Capital and existing investors including Cambridge Angels.  

Founded in 2016, techspert.io eliminates the limitations of human-led market research with AI–driven science.  Deep search technology uses reinforcement learning models to autonomously crawl online content and data, mapping expertise in real-time and precisely matching specialists to business needs. 

techspert.io’s connection platform then facilitates knowledge exchange through a one-to-one conversation or focus group.

techspert.io co-founder and Managing Director, Graham Mills, said, “Primary research plays a crucial role in informing the biggest decisions that businesses make; whether considering expansion into a new market, sizing up an acquisition target, or planning new product lines. 

“With this funding support, we can empower more companies to go beyond who they know, to find who they need.“

Carles Ferrer, Nauta Capital‘s General Partner, who will now join techspert.io’s board, added, “We found the company’s approach in applying deep-tech to solve a global knowledge problem highly compelling. The leadership’s ability to combine strong technical skills with commercial know-how to a large, but static industry, is exactly the type of company we seek to back.”

techspert.io co-founder and Chief Technology Officer, Hari Jackson said, “Already in possession of the most advanced deep tech offering in the industry, the extra capital afforded by this round enables us to further cement our lead.“

“Our technology can acquire, comprehend, categorise, and index any kind of material on the web. This constructs the most accurate expert profiles based on a profound understanding of the links between the individuals, the institutions with which they are affiliated, online media authored, and the knowledge areas in which they reside.”
