$1m for bootstrapped London startup fixing UK defence data woes

Published: February 5, 2026 at 9:00 am

Dataline Labs, a London-based AI data analysis startup, has raised $1 million in pre-seed funding led by Haatch Ventures with backing from the British Business Bank.

The bootstrapped startup has also been selected for the Ministry of Defence’s Digital Supply Chain Accelerator, where they’re working alongside Babcock, Thales and Rheinmetall BAE Systems Land to fix fragmented data systems slowing down UK defence.

The company turns messy, fragmented enterprise data into clean AI-ready APIs in minutes – and is betting on a future where any worker can query complex business data in plain English.
