Cambridge-based startup Alchera Technologies has secured £2.7 million in seed funding to develop AI-powered solutions for managing city roads and public transport. The investment round, led by Maven Capital Partners through the British Business Bank’s South West Investment Fund, also saw participation from the Baves Entrepreneurship Fund, The FSE Group, and Innovate UK’s Investor Partnership programme. Existing investor Cambridge Applied Research joined the funding round.
Alchera’s platform aggregates various transport and contextual data sources, employing proprietary machine learning algorithms to analyze network performance and pinpoint areas for improvement. By condensing what previously took weeks to analyze into mere seconds, the company claims its technology revolutionizes major infrastructure decision-making.
Current clients include local authorities such as Lancashire City Council and the City of York Council. Co-founder and CEO Anna Jordan emphasized the importance of data-driven decision-making, stating that Alchera’s technology eliminates the reliance on instinct and incomplete information, leading to more reliable, resilient, and affordable transport networks for all users.
