Implement AI, recently named “AI Start-Up of the Year” at the UK Startup Awards London 2025, has secured £250,000 in seed funding from SFC Capital to accelerate the rollout of its AI Operating System (AIOS). The platform enables businesses to deploy digital workers—AI agents that collaborate with human teams to boost revenue, cut costs and enhance job satisfaction.
Co-founded in 2023 by Piers Linney and Dr Aalok Yashwant Shukla, Implement AI targets sectors including healthcare, retail, recruitment and professional services. The new funding will support the scaling of its AIOS subscription and consumption-based model, alongside the launch of a reseller programme for UK IT channels and consultancies.
AIOS integrates a suite of AI agents across functions such as sales, customer service, analytics and operations. At its core is a shared-memory Agentic CRM that retains contextual understanding and connects with more than 600 business applications. Unlike traditional per-seat SaaS models, AIOS combines recurring and usage-based pricing to optimise efficiency and affordability.
Investor Nigel Wray, known for backing Domino’s Pizza and Nutmeg, praised Implement AI’s ability to make AI practical and impactful for SMEs. Dr Shukla said the platform is already delivering measurable ROI by enhancing growth and customer experience without increasing headcount.
Implement AI offers a fully managed service, handling the optimisation, upgrading and support of AI agents on behalf of clients. This approach reduces the technical barriers often faced by smaller firms and supports smoother adoption of AI-driven automation.
As a Microsoft and NVIDIA partner, Implement AI leverages advanced technologies to help businesses boost productivity and lower operational costs. Through its podcast hosted by Linney and Shukla, the company shares practical guidance on embedding AI across business functions to build AI-first organisations.
With the UK aiming to lead in responsible AI adoption, Implement AI’s scalable digital workforce platform represents a step forward—focusing on ROI, accessibility and augmentation rather than hype. The company’s growth reflects the rising demand for tangible, SME-friendly AI solutions that deliver real business value.
