Seamflow develops AI software to help testing, inspection, and certification organisations streamline audits and approvals, improving efficiency and supporting faster certification in sectors such as medical devices and industrial infrastructure.
London-based Seamflow, an AI-focused software company serving the global testing, inspection, and certification (TIC) industry, has raised $4.5 million in seed funding. The round was co-led by Northzone and Initialized Capital, with participation from Entrepreneur First, Nebular, and angel investors including Charlie Songhurst and Mario Götze.
Before products can be commercialised, facilities can operate, or infrastructure can become operational, independent experts are required to conduct audits, review extensive documentation, and issue formal approvals. These processes are managed by TIC organisations across most sectors of the economy and are becoming increasingly complex as regulatory requirements expand.
The challenge is particularly acute in the medical device sector. In the European Union, a large number of devices are currently awaiting certification by notified bodies, and approval timelines can extend well beyond a year due to the limited availability of qualified experts and the volume of documentation involved.
Seamflow applies AI to certification workflows to help organisations organise documentation, coordinate reviews, and reduce administrative workload, allowing experts to focus on substantive assessments. According to the company, this approach can significantly reduce certification timelines.
Konstantin Klingler, CEO and co-founder of Seamflow, said the company aims to support TIC professionals as regulatory complexity and demand increase, while maintaining the trust and rigour required in certification processes.
The TIC industry is essential to global safety and innovation, and it relies on highly skilled professionals. Our goal is to support those teams with AI that helps them manage growing complexity and demand, without compromising the trust and rigor the industry is built on.
Initially focused on medical devices, Seamflow has expanded to work with organisations across the broader TIC industry, addressing operational challenges such as auditor scheduling, documentation management, and review coordination. The company is working with enterprise clients to deploy its platform across certification workflows at scale.
The funding will be used to expand Seamflow’s team, further develop its product, and support additional testing, inspection, and certification organisations globally.
