Manchester-Based AI Startup Revnu Secures €2.6 Mn

Manchester-based Revnu has secured €2.6 million ($3 million) in a new funding round. The company develops an AI platform that helps businesses find potential customers and build their sales pipelines.

SUMMARY

  • Revnu has raised €2.6 million ($3 million) in a new funding round.
  • The round was led by NPIF II – PXN Equity Finance, managed by PXN Ventures.
  • Revnu was founded in 2026 by George Jefferson and Art Freebrey, who have worked together on several businesses since secondary school.

The funding round was led by NPIF II – PXN Equity Finance, managed by PXN Ventures as part of the Northern Powerhouse Investment Fund II. Y Combinator also backed the round.

Revnu will use the new funding to grow its team and accelerate its business growth. The company plans to strengthen its operations as it expands its customer base.

The company will focus on expanding its presence across the UK and US. Revnu also plans to enter more international markets as it continues to grow its AI-powered sales platform.

George Jefferson, CEO of Revnu, says: “AI has made it easier than ever to start a business, but the real challenge arises when it comes to growing them. There’s a general understanding about what’s needed: more outbound, trying LinkedIn ads and testing more. But many simply don’t have the time to run this activity themselves, nor have the budget to hire a dedicated growth team.

Stefano Smith, Senior Investment Associate at PXN Ventures, adds: “We knew George and Art prior to Y Combinator from their participation in hackathons and contribution to student accelerators. The pair immediately stood out as ambitious, driven young founders with strong technical expertise. When combined with our high conviction thesis on the new world of growth marketing, backing Revnu was an easy decision. NPIF II was created to invest in founders exactly like George and Art, and we’re proud to support them in their growth journey.”
