UK startup Tyten raises €856k to modernise facilities-management processes

The investment round was led by Fuel Ventures and Concrete Ventures, with additional support from Antler.

Vladimir Pushmin, CEO and co-founder of Tyten, said: “Facilities management is the invisible backbone of every building – but the technology behind it hasn’t kept up and has lacked the innovation needed. We built Tyten to solve that, working hand in hand with technicians and help desk teams to understand their real challenges.”

In 2025, Europe has seen steady activity in AI-powered building and facilities management. Swiss startup viboo raised €3.3 million to grow its AI building-management platform and enter the German market. Estonian company Bisly raised €4.3 million to expand its smart-building automation systems across Central and Western Europe.

With Tyten’s €856k funding added, the total reported funding in this sector for 2025 is now around €8.5 million.

Together, these investments show that investors continue to believe in technologies that make building operations smoother whether through automation, energy optimisation, or improving day-to-day workflows.

In this growing market, Tyten’s work on digitising help-desk processes and improving technician diagnostics places it in a unique but complementary space, highlighting a wider shift towards modernising the core operations of buildings.

“This funding round gives us the resources to scale rapidly, accelerate product development, and bring much-needed acceleration to an industry that keeps the world running,” added Pushmin.

Tyten was co-founded in 2024 by Vladimir Pushmin (CEO), Sergey Nasonov (CTO), and Tom Petrides (CCO). Their platform combines smart workflow automation for help desks with guided diagnostic tools for technicians. This helps buildings run more efficiently and improves overall service quality.

The Tyten team brings strong experience in energy optimisation, AI, and commercial real estate, giving them a clear understanding of the real problems faced by facilities-management teams.

The company says its team spent over 400 hours working closely with technicians and help-desk staff to observe their routines, challenges, and daily tasks. This hands-on research shapes Tyten’s product approach building a tool designed specifically for facilities management, instead of trying to adapt software made for other industries.

Mark Pearson, Founder of Fuel Ventures, adds: “Facilities management is a trillion-dollar market that’s been left behind by modern technology, and Tyten is seizing that gap with clarity, speed and ambition. At Fuel, we back founders who see massive opportunities where others see legacy industries – and that’s exactly what Tyten has done.

“What stood out to us was the team’s rare mix of deep industry insight and technical execution. They’re not just building a clever tool – they’re reshaping how an entire sector operates. It’s exactly the kind of bold, high-impact vision we love to support, and we’re excited to be backing them on this journey.”

Tyten says the UK facilities-management market is worth €68 billion (£60 billion), and worldwide the industry is valued at about €1.2 trillion ($1.4 trillion). Despite being so large, the sector has not received many AI or automation tools designed specifically for its needs.

This is the gap Tyten wants to fill.

Tyten’s AI platform focuses on two major challenges in facilities management:

1. Automating help-desk tasks
   The system handles repair requests from the moment a problem is reported until the job is completed. It contacts subcontractors, processes technician reports, spots missing information, and sends follow-ups automatically. According to the company, this can save help-desk staff up to two out of every five working days.
2. Helping technicians on-site
   Tyten offers step-by-step instructions for diagnosing and fixing issues, so technicians don’t have to search manuals or videos during a job. This helps them finish repairs more quickly and accurately possibly closing work orders up to 80% faster and improving service performance.

Most of the new funding will go toward engineering and product development, making up roughly 70–80% of the total. Tyten is also quickly expanding its technical team to support rising customer demand.

Taylor Wescoatt, Founder of Concrete VC adds: “We have been impressed with the depth of insight Tyten has developed into this enormous and highly fragmented technology ecosystem. LLM’s offer a new dawn to the painful repetitive processes necessary to keep buildings and their occupiers happy and focussed on what they do best.

“We seek founders who are eager to work closely with real estate operators, enabling them to innovate and improve on services in the built environment. Rarely have we seen such a perfect fit for a new technology, and a strong customer response to an early stage company’s offering.”
