Capsa AI Secures $18 Million to Expand Private Capital Intelligence Platform

Technology startup Capsa AI announced Tuesday (June 9) it has closed an $18 million Series A funding round aimed at scaling its specialized artificial intelligence (AI) operating system for the global private equity sector.

The latest investment round was co-led by TX Ventures and Pivot Investment Partners. The fundraising also included participation from Bek Ventures, as well as continued backing from existing investors Outward VC, Antler and Cornerstone VC. Several angel investors, including Indeed co-founder Paul Forster, also participated in the round. According to Thursday (June 11) reporting by FinTech Futures, this new injection of capital brings Capsa AI’s total funding to $20 million since the company was founded in the United Kingdom in 2023.

Capsa AI develops an overarching software platform designed to manage the extensive data generated by private capital funds. According to the company, the private capital sector is one of the most data-intensive industries globally but has historically lacked adequate technological infrastructure.

The startup’s system addresses this by indexing a firm’s historical footprint—capturing internal memos, conversations, investment decisions and the final outcomes of those decisions. By consolidating this data, the technology aims to preserve “institutional intelligence” and make it readily accessible to investment teams for evaluating future deals.

Addressing the fundamental gap in the market that the technology aims to fill, Capsa AI Co-Founders Danyal Özdüzenciler and Callum Downie stated: “The accumulated knowledge of how a fund thinks, what it has seen and what it has learned … once only existed in scattered systems and in people’s heads. When they left, it left with them. When a new deal arrived, it started from scratch.”

According to FinTech Futures, the company said its platform provides services to several major private capital firms worldwide. Having already indexed millions of internal documents and tens of thousands of past deals, Capsa AI said it effectively makes decades of institutional knowledge instantly searchable for its users. Driven by a reported 14-fold year-over-year increase in annual recurring revenue, the company plans to continue rolling out its services to enterprises across the United States and Europe.

The funding arrives as the broader private equity sector increasingly adopts AI as a core operational requirement rather than an experimental tool.

Facing tighter deal cycles and intense competition, investment firms are leveraging AI to accelerate due diligence, sharpen financial forecasting and surface early performance risks, according to PYMNTS. For example, industry players such as Charlesbank Capital Partners and Brightstar Capital Partners have already deployed AI agents to manage deal-flow pipelines and review complex investment memorandums in minutes instead of hours.

As portfolio oversight shifts from periodic human reviews toward continuous, data-driven analysis, the demand for platforms capable of capturing and instantly recalling institutional intelligence is expected to grow.
