Unique, a tech firm focused on creating a specialised agentic AI platform for financial firms, has raised $30m in a Series A funding round led by DN Capital and CommerzVentures, taking total fundraising to $53m since the company’s launch in 2021.
Existing seed investors including VI Partners and Pictet Group also participated in the round.
According to a press statement, Unique’s platform supports customers to deploy agentic AI, through one of its 25 specialised ‘off the shelf’ use cases, or via customised agents. These “solutions for back and middle-office functions can be seamlessly integrated into existing systems, delivering improved performance and accuracy in processing data and requests”.
Unique AI is already deployed by blue-chip companies with more than $2.3tn in assets under management, including Pictet Group, UBP, LGT Private Banking, SIX and other top players in the financial services space. One of the firm’s most prominent clients, Pictet Group, which offers the platform to 6,000 employees, has reported efficiency gains of around two hours per week, per person.
“DN Capital has a strong focus on enterprise software for financial services and Unique’s offering is serving a pressing need for banks and asset managers to deploy compliant and accurate agentic AI solutions,” said Guy Ward Thomas, Partner at DN Capital. “Unique already counts many of Europe’s top financial services institutions as customers and we are excited to support the company on its internationalisation journey.”
