We're delighted to share that Haatch portfolio company Unloq has raised $1.2 million in funding to accelerate the development of its AI-powered Decision Intelligence platform. The round was led by the West Midlands Co-Investment Fund, with participation from Future Planet Capital, Mercia Ventures and Haatch.

What Does Unloq Do?
Unloq is helping businesses move beyond traditional dashboards and retrospective reporting by giving leadership teams the tools to understand what is likely to happen next—and what they should do about it.

Founded by Dr Yiannis Maos MBE and Satyen Fakey, Unloq's Decision Intelligence platform combines internal business data with external market signals to predict future outcomes, identify risks and opportunities, and recommend practical actions. Crucially, the platform is designed to support, rather than replace, human decision-making, helping organisations make more informed, accountable and confident strategic decisions.

The business has only been trading for less than 12 months, but has already worked with a number of global organisations to help identify where AI can create measurable value and embed governed AI solutions into real operating models.

Why This Matters
Most organisations today are data-rich but insight-poor. Despite significant investment in analytics, reporting tools and AI, many critical business decisions are still made using backwards-looking information.

As AI adoption accelerates, the challenge is no longer access to data or intelligence. The challenge is turning that intelligence into action.

This is where we believe Unloq is addressing a significant market opportunity. Rather than focusing solely on generating outputs, the company is building technology that helps organisations make better decisions. Its platform bridges data, AI, and real-world business outcomes by providing recommendations that can be tested against company objectives, constraints, and governance requirements.

For enterprises operating in increasingly complex environments, the ability to predict future scenarios and make faster, better-informed decisions could become a major competitive advantage.

Why We Are Excited
At Haatch, we back exceptional founders solving meaningful problems, and Unloq is a great example of both.

Yiannis and Satyen combine deep technical expertise with strong commercial experience and a clear vision for how AI should be adopted within organisations. Their focus on governed, accountable AI reflects the reality of how businesses make decisions and the barriers that often prevent AI projects from delivering lasting value.

We're also excited by the scale of the opportunity. Decision intelligence sits at the intersection of AI, data and business performance, three areas that we believe will define the next generation of enterprise software.

Finally, Unloq embodies something we care deeply about at Haatch: backing world-class founders outside of London's traditional venture ecosystem. Building from Birmingham with global ambitions, the team is demonstrating that category-defining technology companies can be created anywhere in the UK.

We're proud to support Unloq on this journey and look forward to seeing the impact they create as they scale.
