Implement AI seals seed funding deal

Winner of the UK Startup Awards “AI Start-Up of the Year” London 2025, Implement AI will scale its AI Operating System (AIOS) recurring revenue, expand its own AI-augmented team, and develop its reseller channel.
Its objective will be to deploy teams of digital workers that work alongside human resources to grow revenue, optimise costs, create competitive advantage and improve job satisfaction.
Proceeds from the deal will be used to:
- Accelerate AIOS subscriptions and consumption-based revenues following platform build and validation
- Add sales and deployment roles embedded with digital colleagues and AI-led support
- Launch a reseller model for the existing UK information technology and communications channels; and technology consultancies
- Extend AIOS capability and add more powerful digital workers such as Computer Use Agents
As Nigel Wray, best known for his ownership of Saracens and high-profile investments such as Domino’s Pizza, Nutmeg, Stubben Edge, Connectd and Franchise Brands, put it: “There’s no doubt that AI is going to change the world in a dramatic way, and the sums of money involved are absolutely enormous. But we like how Implement AI enables small to medium companies to also really get involved, and benefit, from the impactful power of AI within their businesses.”
Meanwhile, Dr Aalok Shukla, CEO and Co-founder of Implement AI, noted: “This investment allows us to scale our recurring revenue by deploying managed digital workers in more businesses – from clinics and healthcare providers to retailers, recruiters, professional services firms, and beyond.
“We are proving that AI has moved from hype to delivering real ROI, as customers use our AIOS platform to unlock growth, efficiency, and better customer experiences without adding headcount. Our objective is to build the category-defining platform for digital workforces.
AIOS aiming to deliver
- Digital worker teams for sales, service, customer success, operations, computer use, and analytics, running on AIOS
- A shared memory Agentic CRM that keeps context inhouse, connections to over 600 existing applications and sources of data, plus an Agentic Task Engine that orchestrates complex workflows, agent collaboration and task completion
- A recurring revenue + consumption model; AIOS carries a minimum monthly subscription plus consumption credits, moving beyond perseat SaaS
- Fully managed by the Implement AI team to optimise, upgrade and provide support to maximise value
Cutting costs
Implement AI delivers teams of managed AI agents – digital workers that cut costs, boost productivity, and grow revenue without increasing payroll. Its AI Operating System (AIOS) enables businesses to quickly deploy digital workers that share memory, connect to core systems, and automate cross-functional workflows.
