We Build AI That Actually Ships
We spent years in PE and VC watching consultants deliver slide decks. So we built an agency that delivers working AI — in weeks, not months.
Trusted by PE funds, VC firms, and growth businesses across the UK
Our Story
From investment floors to AI deployment
We met studying Economics at Cambridge. After graduating, we took separate paths into private equity and venture capital — Nihaar at Arcus Infrastructure Partners and Synthesis Capital, Arpita at 3i Group, Apax Partners, and Scottish Equity Partners.
Across every fund and portfolio company, we saw the same problem: businesses losing 15-30% of their operating capacity to manual, automatable tasks. And the AI consultancies they hired would deliver strategy decks and leave.
So we built Squirrel AI — an agency that actually builds, deploys, and embeds AI into how companies run. We go on-site, work with management teams, and make sure AI sticks. First automations are live in 2-4 weeks.
Today Nihaar also serves as Head of AI at Healf — ranked #1 on the Sifted 100 UK & Ireland 2026 with 1,403% two-year revenue CAGR — bringing hands-on operator experience to everything we build.
