Inephany, a London, UK-based AI model optimisation system provider, raised $2.2M in Pre-Seed funding.
The round was led by Amadeus Capital Partners, with participation from Sure Valley Ventures and Professor Steve Young.
The company intends to use the funds to expand operations and its development efforts.
Founded by Dr John Torr, Hami Bahraynian, and Maurice von Sturm, Inephany is an AI optimisation startup that improves sample efficiency, accelerates training, reduces overall development time, and enhances final model performance.
While the company’s initial focus is on training-time optimisation for LLMs, its technology has broad applicability across the AI landscape—from Recurrent Neural Networks used in financial time-series forecasting, to Convolutional Neural Networks powering computer vision in autonomous systems. Inephany also has plans to expand its AI-powered optimisation approach to inference time compute.
