As AI scales, the constraint is no longer model accuracy. It is Decision Control.Most enterprises can build models. Few can run them safely, continuously, and accountably in production. Fragmented Governance • Slow Refresh cycles • Post-hoc Auditability. This is where AI breaks.At FinbotsAI, we have built the Decision Control Layer -application-layer infrastructure for predictive AI in regulated environments.Not another modeling tool. Not MLOps. A system that governs how models are built, approved, deployed, monitored, refreshed, and defended - with embedded policy constraints, traceable evidence, and accountable decision flows.In regulated systems, models are not the atomic unit. Decisions are.Decision quality is a system property, not a model property.I’ve spent 25+ years working with Tier-1 institutions across Asia, the Middle East, and global markets - including leading transformation inside regulated banks. I’ve seen where AI fails in production. Control determines whether it scales.FinbotsAI operates as infrastructure, enabling enterprises to move AI from pilots to governed production systems - with speed, confidence, and auditability. ## Round sizes | Stage | Round size | | --- | --- | | Pre-Seed | $77k–$84k | ## Investment focus ### Industry | Industry | Investments | Share | | --- | --- | --- | | B2B | 1 | 14% | | SaaS | 1 | 14% | | Credit | 1 | 14% | | FinTech | 1 | 14% | | Risk Management | 1 | 14% | 10 industries tracked in total. ### Stage | Stage | Investments | Share | | --- | --- | --- | | Seed | 1 | 14% | | Pre-Seed | 1 | 14% | | Funding Round | 1 | 14% | | Debt Financing | 1 | 14% | ## Investments | Company | Description | Amount | Stage | Date | Website | | --- | --- | --- | --- | --- | --- | | FinbotsAI | FinbotsAI has built the Decision Control Layer for regulated AI - the missing infrastructure between AI model development and governed production execution. While much of enterprise AI remains experimental, fragmented, or limited to copilots and productivity tools, FinbotsAI enables financial institutions to build, deploy, govern, orchestrate,monitor, and evidence AI-driven decisions in production. Built fully in-house with over 8 years of R&D, FinbotsAI supports credit risk modeling, real-time decisioning, customer intelligence, portfolio monitoring, forecasting, and AI governance.Unlike AI wrappers, services firms, or horizontal MLOps/AutoML platforms, FinbotsAI is proprietary AI infrastructure purpose-built for regulated industries where explainability, auditability, reproducibility, approvals, policy controls, and human oversight are mandatory. FinbotsAI integrates model development, decision orchestration, explainability, governance, monitoring, and immutable audit evidence into a single platform - addressing one of the most underbuilt layers in enterprise AI: regulated AI in production.FinbotsAI has demonstrated proven capability across multiple countries and regulated financial institutions, helping clients compress model development cycles from months to hours while improving governance, explainability, and operational outcomes. As enterprises move from AI experimentation to real-world deployment, FinbotsAI is positioned as foundational infrastructure for trusted, scalable, regulator-ready AI.FinbotsAI is headquartered in Singapore, with deployments and validation experience across regulated enterprises in global markets.PRODUCTS CreditX : AI decision engine for credit and risk TargetX : Customer targeting & propensity decisioning PredictX : Forecasting & strategic decision support DecisionX : Governed decision orchestration layerVISION / LONG TERM OPPORTUNITY FinbotsAI envisions a world where AI decisioning operates as governed infrastructure rather than disconnected tooling.
