Unique AI, a vertical AI company, announced that it has successfully closed a $30m Series A funding round.

Since its inception in 2021, the company has now amassed a total of $53m in investment. The latest funding round was spearheaded by CommerzVentures and DN Capital, with continued backing from early seed investors, including VI Partners and Pictet Group.

Unique AI operates in the FinTech sector, developing an advanced agentic AI platform tailored for financial firms. The platform offers 25 specialized ‘off the shelf’ use cases, along with customisable agents, to enhance back and middle-office operations. This integration allows for improved data processing and accuracy, making significant impacts on efficiency and regulatory compliance.

The company plans to use this new influx of capital to fuel its global expansion and refine its ability to deploy cutting-edge solutions. With a solid base of deployment among blue-chip companies managing over $2.3 trillion in assets, including names like Pictet Group and LGT Private Banking, Unique AI is setting a new standard in financial services technology.

One of Unique AI’s prominent clients, Pictet Group, utilizes the platform extensively, providing it to 6,000 employees and reporting efficiency gains of approximately two hours per week per person. Despite the platform’s ability to streamline investment product filtering and related tasks, human relationship managers remain central to client interactions.

In addition to funding news, Unique AI announced the appointment of Dana Ritter as Chief Product Officer, effective April 2025. Ritter, a former Group Product Manager at Google Deepmind, brings a wealth of experience from his time leading projects like Gemini on Android and Google’s agentic web capability, Duplex on the Web.

Several quotes from the investing partners highlight the enthusiasm for Unique AI’s potential. “We are excited to announce this Series A investment,” Unique CEO Manuel Grenacher said. “This funding will significantly boost our global expansion efforts and enhance our ability to deploy agentic solutions for our clients.”

“We are thrilled to support Unique in this next phase of growth,” CommerzVentures Managing Partner Patrick Meisberger commented. Similarly, DN Capital Partner Guy Ward Thomas added, “Unique’s offering is serving a pressing need for banks and asset managers to deploy compliant and accurate agentic AI solutions.”

Lastly, VI Partners Managing Partner Olivier Laplace noted, “Our partnership with Manuel and his team goes back a decade when we backed his previous venture. Seeing once again their bold vision and outstanding execution, we are excited to support them in this next stage.”
