Manchester-based Trigenex secures £577k for AI beauty technology

Trigenex Ltd, a Manchester-based technology firm specializing in AI-powered skin tone analysis, has raised £577.3k in a new funding round. The investment values the company at an estimated £6.6m.

Founded in 2014, Trigenex develops IoT-based solutions for the global cosmetics market. Its core product, ShadePro, allows beauty brands and retailers to offer personalized product customization both in-store and online. The technology uses artificial intelligence to analyze skin tones and match consumers with specific cosmetic products. The company focuses on providing digital experiences that bridge the gap between physical retail and online shopping.

The company currently employs 12 people. This latest capital injection follows a consistent period of fundraising over the last three years. In April 2025, the firm raised £189.5k, preceded by a £74.4k round in February 2025. The company saw its largest recent activity in October 2024, when it secured two separate allotments of £868.9k and £450k.

Earlier funding history includes a £25.2k round in June 2024 and a £112.5k round in April 2024. During 2023, Trigenex completed four separate rounds: £250k in November, £250k in July, £250k in February, and £300k in April.

The documentation for this latest £577.3k round was filed in April 2026. The capital will support the ongoing development of the ShadePro platform as the company continues to target digital experiences for retailers. This round brings the total capital raised by the company since early 2023 to over £3.3m.
