Palatine has invested £5m into AI-powered healthcare expert network Techspert to accelerate hiring and further develop its AI platform – marking the 11th deal from its Growth Credit Fund.

Techspert’s AI-driven platform connects clients, such as pharmaceutical and biotech companies, with relevant subject matter experts facilitating interviews, calls, surveys and bespoke interactions to gather insights.

The fully remote global business, formerly based in Cambridge, has a database of 25 million healthcare profiles covering 5 million specialisms, with 400,000 actively engaged.

Techspert is already backed by BGF and Nauta Capital. The fresh funding will support the hiring of around 20 employees in 2026 across sales, marketing and customer success teams, along with the development of AI research and market intelligence tools.
