London-based Gradient Labs has increased its Series A financing to $26 million, bringing in new investors Octopus Ventures and CommerzVentures, alongside follow-on backing from Redpoint Ventures and Exceptional Capital.
Founded in 2023, the company builds specialist AI agents for regulated financial services workflows, including customer operations, compliance, lending, disputes, and KYB. Gradient Labs said the new funding will be used to build what it describes as the foundation for autonomous banking.
The raise reflects continued investor interest in AI companies targeting highly regulated enterprise work, particularly in financial services where automation remains difficult to deploy at scale because of compliance and audit requirements.
