Our take

causaLens want to help organisations better optimise business outcomes and their operations. Its technology is used for AI-based decision making and also to bring in more cause-and-effect nuance when arriving at outcomes. It has been identified as one of the most exciting AI startups in the UK.

Since emerging from Stealth mode in January 2021, causaLens has grown revenues tremendously, with clients including Tier1 banks, hedge funds, governments and Fortune 500 companies. It continues its mission to make AI start to understand the world as humans understand it.

It recently brought in Series A funding - which could potentially grow in size - that allows causaLens to double its team to meet the growing global demand for Causal AI while investing aggressively to maintain its competitive technology lead.
