Here’s Pints AI! They’re a Singapore-based enterprise AI company that helps regulated financial institutions deploy auditable AI. 

• Now, they’ve just raised a $5.6M Pre-Series A.

‍

Investor check. Tin Men Capital led the round, while SBI Ven Capital joined as co-lead. 

• SEEDS, NTUitive, SUTD Venture Fund, and Tenity also participated. 

‍

💭 Do it right

Founded in 2021, Pints AI’s proprietary platform Autothought automates slow, manual processes inside banks and insurers, like underwriting, claims, and client onboarding, while producing a full audit trail for every decision. 

• Their tech is used by 12 financial institutions across Singapore, India, Hong Kong, and the United States.

‍

💎 How it works

Pints AI uses an agent orchestration framework that matches each task to the right model. 

That means tasks are either run using purpose-built small language models, frontier models like Claude, or even other open-source options. 

• This empowers institutions to use a single AI system instead of mixing and matching tools from different providers. 
• Pints AI also sends engineers to work directly inside each institution.

💰 What’s in store?

The fresh capital will enable Pints AI to expand its deployment model into new markets across APAC and the Middle East. 

• They’ll also use the fresh $$$ to grow their engineering team and develop their governance and audit capabilities for new regulatory environments. 
• Oh, and they’ll also build Autothought Studio, which will enable in-house engineering teams to build and manage AI tools.
