$5.4m · Seed · AI · London, UK
London-based AI Score has raised $5.4m in seed funding led by Fuel Ventures, with further backing from founding investor GALLOS Technologies and individual investors including Alan Morgan and Mo El Husseiny. The company will use the capital to accelerate product development, expand its go-to-market operation and strengthen its controls for agentic AI, according to AI Score's announcement.
Turning AI policy into a live control layer
Companies increasingly have to govern more than approved chatbots. Employees can use personal assistants, software vendors can add AI features, and autonomous agents can connect to internal tools and data. A policy document may describe what should happen without showing what is actually running or whether permissions have changed.
AI Score says its API-driven platform connects to enterprise AI systems and other technology tools to maintain a live inventory of models, agents, assistants and applications. It links those assets to owners, use cases and risk profiles, maps evidence to frameworks including the EU AI Act, ISO 42001 and NIST RMF, and is designed to enforce policies or restrict what an agent can access and do.
The commercial proposition is a continuously updated governance layer rather than a periodic compliance exercise. That can give security, risk and management teams one view of adoption, cost and exposure. Its usefulness will depend on integration breadth and signal quality: an incomplete inventory or noisy alerts would leave customers with another dashboard rather than a dependable control point.
Early traction now has to become repeatable deployment
AI Score reports that revenue grew 6.7x in the first six months of 2026. It says customers span a Magic Circle law firm, a FTSE 250 company, a UK fintech and global consumer brands, though it has not named them; Sky News separately reported the financing and said the company declined to identify customers.
The round follows a $1m pre-seed announced in November 2025. AI Score launched in 2025 after incubation by GALLOS Technologies and is led by CEO Alex Harland, previously part of the founding team at the UK's National Cyber Security Centre, and COO Benita Tibb, a former City lawyer.
The funding arrives as customers move from employee experimentation towards agents that can act inside business systems. That widens the governance task from recording which tools are approved to observing behaviour, permissions and changes while software is operating. AI Score's next test is whether it can turn its early regulated-customer demand into deployments that connect quickly, cover enough of the AI estate and give teams actions they can trust.
