February 3, 2026

Artificial Labs, a provider of digital broking and underwriting technology for specialty and commercial insurance, has closed a $45m Series B funding round to accelerate growth and expand its international footprint.

The round was led by CommerzVentures, with support from Move Capital Fund I and continued participation from existing investors Augmentum Fintech, 6 Degrees Capital, FOM and TrueSight Ventures.

Over the next 12 months, the company expects to double in size. It also plans to expand into the US in 2026, while growing its presence and consolidating its leadership position in the London Market.

Artificial co-founder David King said, “This round gives us the room to grow with confidence. The investment allows us to scale in a way that keeps pace with our clients. We have the teams, the technology, and the stability to support the largest brokers and carriers as they modernise how they operate.”

Artificial co-founder Johnny Bridges said, “We have built a platform that solves real problems for insurance. With this investment, we will grow our team, continue to innovate, and ensure that Artificial remains the natural choice for brokers and carriers seeking a smarter way to trade digitally.”

CommerzVentures managing partner Heiko Schwender said, “We are thrilled to support Artificial as they extend their leadership globally.

“We have been backing next-generation technology businesses for more than a decade. Artificial’s platform addresses a real, structural problem that has constrained efficiency in commercial and specialty insurance for decades. The team’s combination of deep insurance domain expertise and world class engineering is rare, and it uniquely positions them to redefine this market.”

Artificial describes itself as an independent technology company focused on speciality (re)insurance, helping brokers and carriers digitise complex workflows, capture institutional expertise and deploy capacity more effectively. Founded in London, it works with large brokers, carriers and MGAs, integrating with existing systems to deliver efficiency gains across the value chain.
