Founded in 2018 by Chris Green, Daniel Secretan and Shaun O'Mahony, Xapien has built an AI-powered research engine that automates the open-source due diligence work traditionally done by analysts, scanning news, corporate records, sanctions lists and social media to produce structured, source-linked reports in minutes rather than days. Backed early by Founders Factory and Aviva through Founders Factory's corporate accelerator, Xapien has grown into a platform used by financial services firms, law firms and corporates for KYC, third-party risk and compliance checks.
The company closed a $10M Series A in 2024, led by YFM Equity Partners with participation from D2 Fund, taking total funding to around £14M, and has since more than doubled its headcount and grown annual recurring revenue by 150%. Xapien continues to expand into financial services and the US market, with partnerships including Dow Jones Risk & Compliance.
