Dublin-based
AI startup Better Futures has secured €600,000 in funding from private angel
investors and Enterprise Ireland through its High Potential Start-Up (HPSU)
programme, bringing the company’s total funding raised to date to €1.1 million.
Headquartered
at NovaUCD, Better Futures develops AI technology designed to automate
engineering documentation workflows in regulated industries. The funding
announcement coincides with the launch of the next generation of EVA™, the
company’s platform for generating trusted, structured and audit-ready
engineering documentation.
Engineering
teams operating in sectors such as energy, aerospace, life sciences and
advanced manufacturing often face complex documentation requirements involving
regulations, standards, approvals and compliance processes. While generative AI
tools can assist with drafting content, Better Futures argues they are not
designed to reliably automate traceable and audit-ready outputs at scale.
EVA™
enables organisations to automate engineering documentation workflows by
embedding regulations, standards, templates and expert knowledge directly into
the system. The platform is designed to help teams generate structured and
traceable outputs while reducing manual review cycles and improving consistency
across projects and workflows.
Anthony Mc Loughlin, founder and CEO of Better Futures, said:
The key
challenge is trust. Teams need audit-ready outputs they can trust, approve and
reuse at scale. That is why we built EVA™. It is not another chatbot and not
another agent. It is a governed AI platform designed to bring trusted
automation to complex engineering documentation workflows.
The
latest version of EVA™ builds on deployments with early customers, including ABB
and Bausch + Lomb and is intended to support broader adoption across complex
engineering environments.
The new
funding will be used to expand Better Futures’ product and go-to-market teams
in Dublin, accelerate further development of EVA™ and support customer growth
across regulated industries.
