London-based AI company for financial advisers, Marloo, has raised $10 million in a seed round led by Blackbird Ventures and participation from Icehouse Ventures. This brings total funding for the company to $12.7 million within a year. Blackbird now holds approximately 34% of Marloo. The founders, Hardy Michel, Shakeel Lala, and Ben Robertson, each retain approximately 27% of the company. The funding will be used to strengthen Marloo's position in the UK and Australia, expand into the US, and develop a broader product suite aimed at becoming the core operating system for financial advisory firms. Marloo was founded in 2024 by former financial advisers and aims to make design work accessible and more professional for a wider group of practitioners.
