The investment aims to broaden Jaid’s offering and market reach as it expands into the United States, Europe, and now Asia. This was the company’s second investment from its £95M UK Software Fund.

Client service automation, sales automation, payment exception processing, and claims administration processing are among Jaid’s AIaaS use cases.

Dan Kramer, CEO, Jaid, said: “We are honored to have the support of Sure Valley Ventures with their deep experience in the market as we continue to grow and scale our business. This funding gives us the fuel to build on the great work we have done so far, and we are excited about the opportunities it will enable us to pursue.
