iMaintain, a UK-based maintenance technology company, has closed its pre-seed funding round, raising over £250,000 with backing from SFC Capital. The investment marks a significant milestone for the company as it enters its next phase of growth and scaling.
iMaintain is building a platform designed to help manufacturers capture and reuse critical maintenance knowledge, giving teams greater visibility, reducing repetitive faults, and supporting the shift from reactive to reliable operations. By turning everyday engineering experience into shared intelligence, iMaintain helps manufacturers build the digital foundations required before advanced AI tools can deliver meaningful value.
The funding will be used to accelerate product development, expand customer deployments, and continue scaling iMaintain’s AI-driven capabilities, with a strong focus on practical, outcome-led innovation for maintenance teams operating in real-world factory environments.
SFC Capital is known for backing ambitious early-stage companies across a wide range of sectors and for its long-standing commitment to supporting UK innovation. Its investment in iMaintain reflects a strong belief in the importance of manufacturing, an industry that is absolutely critical to the UK economy and the need for modern, practical technology to support its continued growth and competitiveness.
iMaintain was founded by Hannah Savagar and Adam Stockwell, who bring a combination of operational, financial, and product expertise from within manufacturing and industrial technology. Together, they are focused on building tools that work with the realities of the shop floor and empower maintenance teams rather than disrupt them.
The investment is also notable in its support of a female founder within manufacturing, a sector that has traditionally been male dominated. Backing diverse leadership in industrial innovation is an important step toward building a more inclusive and forward-looking manufacturing ecosystem.
iMaintain is currently working with manufacturers across the UK and plans to grow its footprint as demand increases for tools that improve reliability, retain engineering knowledge, and support the gradual, meaningful adoption of AI in maintenance operations.
