Aveni

Award-winning AI solutions for Financial Services

Aveni is redefining how financial institutions use AI. We build real, production-ready agentic systems that reshape how banks, advisers and financial services firms operate, replacing fragmented processes with intelligent, end-to-end workflows.
We have been recognised as Fintech of the Year for two consecutive years and awarded Best Specialist Technology Service at the Professional Adviser Awards 2025. Backed by leading investors including Puma Private Equity, and commercially supported by Lloyds Banking Group and Nationwide Building Society, we previously completed one of Scotland’s largest Series A rounds. Since then, we’ve continued to grow rapidly as adoption of AI in financial services accelerates, and we’re now scaling our engineering organisation to meet that demand.
Our engineering team includes experienced software engineers and PhD-level AI specialists, with strong ties to the University of Edinburgh, giving you access to exceptional expertise and opportunities for continuous learning as part of the day-to-day work.
