  • Adfin

    Participated · Series A · May 2026

    Adfin offers an "agentic" finance platform that combines proprietary payment infrastructure with AI-driven workflows to automate invoice collection, payments, and cash movement. The platform determines appropriate payment and follow-up actions for each client to reduce repetitive administrative work and improve cashflow visibility for finance teams. Adfin emphasizes transparency, auditability, and human oversight while automating payment-related workflows. The company was founded to tackle widespread late payments—nearly two-thirds of UK invoices are paid late—and to help smaller businesses manage working capital constraints. Since launching less than two years ago, Adfin has raised over $30 million in total funding, including the recent $18 million Series A. The company plans to expand its product beyond payment collection into broader cashflow management and to scale hiring and international expansion efforts.

  • CodeWords

    Led · Seed · May 2026

    CodeWords builds Cody, a proactive AI agent that learns how a business operates and autonomously creates and runs automations across multiple integrations and workflows. The platform handles deployment, maintenance and execution on CodeWords’ own infrastructure so non-technical users can trigger and monitor outcomes without technical setup. The company originated as Agemo, an AI research lab focused on neurosymbolic reasoning, before pivoting to a product-focused automation platform. CodeWords is currently in beta and has been adding features such as contextual memory, messaging integrations and adaptive execution modes. With its newly raised $9 million seed round, the company plans to scale its platform and continue developing the agent. No revenue or user metrics were disclosed in the reporting.
