Bristol-based Tikos Technologies secures £130k for AI assurance platform

The Tikos Reasoning Platform, an AI assurance tool developed by Bristol-based Tikos Technologies, has received an estimated £130k investment. This latest funding round values the company at an estimated £2.3m.

Founded in 2024, Tikos Technologies focuses on the development of software that retrofits to existing artificial intelligence models. The platform is designed to ensure that these models comply with regulations regarding transparency, explainability, and fairness. The company serves enterprise clients in regulated sectors, including finance, healthcare, and telecommunications, alongside public sector organizations.

The company operates with a small team, reporting two employees in its financial accounts for the year ended 31 January 2025. This funding round follows an allotment of shares in April, with formal documentation filed in May.

The Tikos Reasoning Platform provides an external layer of oversight for existing AI models. This allows businesses to maintain their current infrastructure while adding the necessary checks to meet legal requirements. The technology focuses on mitigating risks associated with automated decision-making in high-stakes environments such as banking and medical services.

Based in Bristol, Tikos Technologies has reached its current valuation within two years of its incorporation. The company provides its services to organizations looking to deploy AI safely and responsibly in compliance with evolving industry standards.
