Nous Raises $17 Million to Expand Its Household AI Agent
Nous has raised $17 million led by Heartcore Capital, with participation from Mosaic Ventures, to expand its smart home agent beyond the UK.
London-based Nous has raised $17 million in a new funding round led by Heartcore Capital, with participation from seed investor Mosaic Ventures, according to The Next Web.
The round also saw participation from Chalfen Ventures, Joyance Partners, and Bain Future Back Ventures, along with angel investors including Tom Blomfield, Brent Hoberman, and Mark Warner.
The AI agent developed by the company serves around 250,000 households in the UK, handling daily household management tasks.
The proceeds will be used to expand outside the UK, cover additional spending categories, and enter regulated services requiring licenses, a move that increases compliance requirements as the scope of operations expands.
