Bolter

Investor: Improbable

London-based AI-native business messaging platform Bolter has emerged from stealth, securing a $10 million (£7.4 million / €9.1 million) Seed capital commitment from UK technology venture builder Improbable. Summary of transaction details: Value: $10 million (£7.4 million / €9.1 million) Seed funding. Sector: Software & SaaS / DeepTech & AI / Business Messaging & Agent Orchestration. Advisor: Not disclosed. Key Entities: Target: Bolter (Bolter Chat Ltd); Lead Investor / Venture Incubator: Improbable; Key Creator & Executive: Herman Narula (CEO & Co-Founder of Improbable). Location: London, UK (HQ). Note: Incubated within Improbable as its third dedicated spin-out product since pivoting to a venture builder model in 2023 (following blockchain platform Somnia and AI platform Kallikor), Bolter began as an internal project coded directly by Improbable CEO Herman Narula. Bolter is an AI-native conversational workspace designed specifically for mixed teams of human employees and autonomous AI agents. Rather than forcing non-technical business operators to rely on complex workflow builders or developer APIs, Bolter allows users to automate end-to-end business operations by simply describing desired outcomes in plain text. The platform leverages a model-agnostic routing engine that dynamically matches individual sub-tasks to the optimal large language model or specialized agent, enabling agents to autonomously plan, debate, and hand off work to one another within unified chat channels. Built on Improbable’s decade of high-concurrency real-time infrastructure expertise and positioning itself as a sovereign European alternative to US tech giants, the $10m internal seed allocation will support Bolter's core team of seven as they scale enterprise pilots, expand multi-agent orchestration tools, and prepare for future external capital raises.
