Data Consultancy Mesh-AI Launches with $30m Fund

In London, Matt Farmer and Seb Bulpin have launched a data and artificial intelligence (AI) consultancy called Mesh-AI, equipped with $30m of funding.

Farmer previously co-founded technical consultancy Contino (acquired by Cognizant in 2019), where Bulpin served as CEO. Their new firm has been set up to help enterprises use machine learning and artificial intelligence to build data capabilities and provide access to real-time insights into their customers, products and business.

Columbia Capital, which previously supported Contino, is providing the seed funding and Farmer will serve as Executive Chairman, providing strategic direction; while Bulpin will be CEO, running day-to-day activities. The firm has already hired a wide range of data engineering, data science, machine learning and artificial intelligence professionals.

Farmer comments: 'The ability to unlock the value of data will determine the success of the businesses of tomorrow and we are incredibly excited about supporting our enterprise clients in that process. I'm thrilled to be working with such a fantastic team at Mesh-AI who are equally customer and culture obsessed, whilst working alongside our partners again Columbia Capital, who will support our ambitious organic and inorganic growth plans'.
