London-based startup Vente AI has raised £500,000 in pre-seed funding six months after its launch, reports Tech Funding News. The latest funding round was led by venture capital firm Antler and included contributions from seasoned recruitment and rectech angels, including Thomas Vose, whose startup HireAra was recently acquired by the Access Group.

Vente AI leverages artificial intelligence to automate lead identification, analysis, and prioritisation. Vente AI’s proprietary technology processes vast amounts of data to deliver actionable insights to recruiters. In November alone, over 38 million global job listings were analysed, representing a dataset of 17.1 billion words.

Jed Rose, Partner at Antler, said of Vente AI, “When the founders shared their vision, it was clear they had the expertise and technical skills to solve a major industry challenge. We’re excited to support them as they grow.”
