The start-up is building towards a larger VC-led investment round, said CEO Anthony Mc Loughlin.

Dublin-based automation platform Better Futures has raised €600,000 from Enterprise Ireland (EI) under its High Potential Start-Up (HPSU) programme to expand its product and go-to-market teams.

The round was also supported by private angel investors, bringing the 2023-founded start-up’s tally to €1.1m in total funding raised.

The start-up wants to reduce the time spent by engineering teams managing documentation. Its AI platform, called EVA, specifically designed for governed automation, enables teams to encode regulation, standards, rules, templates and expert knowledge upfront, and use that knowledge to automate and validate documentation workflows.
