## Overview

Artificial Labs is a leading provider of algorithmic underwriting and digital broking technology for the specialty and commercial insurance markets. Based in London, the company enables insurers, brokers, and Managing General Agents to automate the placement and underwriting of complex commercial and specialty risks through its Contract Builder and AI-driven underwriting platform.

The company has become the dominant technology provider for the Lloyd's of London market, with its Contract Builder deployed across more than 70% of the London Market. Artificial integrates deeply with London Market infrastructure, including Placing Platform Limited (PPL), to enable Blueprint Two-compliant digital placement workflows.

The company plans to use the funds to accelerate its expansion into the US market and double its headcount over the following 12 months.
