Unique, a Swiss AI platform for finance, raises $30M


A four-year-old Swiss startup has raised a sizeable chunk of change to capitalize on the burgeoning agentic AI movement.

Unique said on Thursday that it has raised $30 million in a Series A funding round that was led by London-based VC firm DN Capital and CommerzVentures, the investment offshoot of Germany’s Commerzbank. Founded in Zurich in 2021 by CEO Manuel Grenacher, CCO Michelle Heppler, and CTO Andreas Hauri (pictured above), Unique wants to power an agentic AI workforce for financial services such as banking, insurance, and private equity. Prior to joining TechCrunch in June 2022, Paul had gained more than a decade’s experience covering consumer and enterprise technologies for The Next Web (now owned by the Financial Times) and VentureBeat.
