Content creation firm YAi has raised £250,000 in Seed Enterprise Investment Scheme (SEIS) funding from Jenson Ventures.
The funding will support product development, team growth, and market expansion as the London-based business aims to become the go-to quality control layer for AI-driven content creation.
YAi combines AI-powered content creation, real-time quality evaluation, and automated content improvement tools into a single platform.
It allows marketers to create text and imagery content directly within its AI content studio, where each piece is automatically scored against a proprietary content evaluation framework.
This evaluates content for brand voice consistency, factual accuracy, originality, readability, and effectiveness – helping to give marketers clear, actionable feedback before publication.
“We are proud to partner with Jenson Ventures to accelerate our mission of changing the way AI is used in marketing content creation and delivering unmatched value to our users,” said Yana Lapitskaya, co-founder and CEO of YAi.
“This investment will enable us to enhance our platform’s capabilities and expand our reach, empowering agencies and brands to increase their productivity and revenues, as well as produce exceptional content with AI.”
Sarah Barber, CEO of Jenson Ventures, added: “YAi’s unique approach to AI-driven content creation and campaign management addresses a significant need in the market.
“We are excited to support Yana, Jessy and Vyacheslav as they lead the charge in transforming how agencies and brands approach content development.”
The £250,000 investment will fund further development of YAi’s AI-powered quality evaluation technology, the hiring of key engineering talent, and early market expansion across the UK and Europe.
Longer term, the company aims to embed its technology into the workflows of marketers globally, aiming to become the standard for AI-generated marketing content.
