Zurich-based startup Unique has successfully closed a USD 30 million Series A funding round, bringing its total investment to USD 53 million since its founding in 2021. The round was led by CommerzVentures and DN Capital, with continued support from existing investors VI Partners and Pictet Group. Unique's platform, focused on agentic AI solutions tailored for the financial services industry, is already deployed by leading institutions, including Pictet, UBP, LGT, SIX, and Partners Group.

Unique's agentic AI platform streamlines critical back-office functions, enhancing efficiency in areas such as research, compliance, and KYC. With 25 specialized use cases or the option for custom-built agents, the platform is helping financial professionals save valuable time while ensuring rigorous data security and regulatory compliance.

Already trusted by firms with over USD 2.3 trillion in assets under management, Unique's technology has led to efficiency gains of up to two hours per week for employees, as seen with its client Pictet Group. With this funding, Unique plans to accelerate product development and pursue ambitious global expansion, particularly targeting the U.S. market. The company also welcomes Dana Ritter as its new Chief Product Officer, effective April 2025, bringing deep experience from Google Deepmind to drive the next phase of growth.
