Gradient Labs Raises $26M Series A

Gradient Labs, a London-based startup providing an AI-native customer operations platform for financial services, has expanded its Series A funding to $26 million. Founded by former members of the Monzo AI and data science team, the company offers purpose-built AI agents that automate regulated financial tasks, including customer support, lending workflows, KYC checks, and dispute resolution.

The funding round includes new investors Octopus Ventures and CommerzVentures, alongside follow-on backing from Redpoint Ventures and Exceptional Capital.

The company plans to use the new capital to fuel its expansion across the United States and to further the development of its AI-powered financial assistants capable of handling increasingly complex customer operations.

Founded in 2023 by Dimitri Masin, Neal Lathia, and Danai Antoniou, Gradient Labs was created to address the operational inefficiencies in highly regulated financial environments. The company mission is to provide an agent layer that enables financial institutions to automate workflows within strict regulatory and compliance guardrails.
