Xapien

Xapien is a deep tech company based in London, founded in 2018, which applies artificial intelligence and natural language processing to emulate human-led research and report-writing. Its platform produces due diligence and background research on any person or company, aggregating commercial and open-source data to deliver a complete risk picture in minutes rather than the days such work traditionally takes. The product scans 0.5 billion corporate records and 1,500 watchlists across 140 jurisdictions.

The company brought its platform to market in 2022 and now has customers in 15 countries. Clients span global law firms, private banks and other financial services firms, universities, risk consultancies, and nonprofits and charities conducting donor due diligence, as well as enterprises vetting suppliers and partners. Xapien's work sits at the intersection of several technical fields: machine learning, data aggregation and open-source intelligence, and risk and compliance technology.

Xapien raised a $10m Series A round in 2024, led by YFM Equity Partners, following a £6m seed round in 2023. The company has been recognised in the Chartis RiskTech100® and Everest Group's Leading 50™, and counts Ivy League institutions and charitable organisations among its client base.
