Seamflow Raises $4.5M for AI Certification Automation
London-based startup Seamflow has raised $4.5 million in seed funding to further develop its AI platform for the global testing, inspection, and certification (TIC) industry. The round was co-led by Northzone and Initialized Capital, with participation from Entrepreneur First, Nebular, and business angels including former Microsoft strategist Charlie Songhurst and footballer Mario Götze. Seamflow's platform organizes documentation, coordinates reviews, and reduces administrative tasks so certification experts can focus on assessment decisions. The company says certification timelines can be shortened to under three months. Medical devices are the initial focus, and the startup plans to expand into other TIC segments. The global TIC market is estimated at £230 billion. Seamflow intends to use the funding to expand its team, enhance product capabilities, and support more certification organizations worldwide.
Early-stage $4.5M seed round for an AI workflow automation startup in the certification/TIC sector; relevant as AI enterprise software news but with limited direct impact on the AdTech/MarTech ecosystem.
