Rivulo, a no-code automation platform built for non-technical operations teams, has raised £375,000 in a pre-seed round led by SFC Capital. It will use the funding to accelerate product development and expand its go-to-market efforts.
Operations teams across the United Kingdom are managing repetitive manual processes that take more than 10 hours a week and reduce time spent on higher-value work. Rivulo addresses this by allowing teams to build and run automations through conversation, without requiring coding skills.
Founded by Tom Whiteley and Mike Miner, who has led operations for some of the United Kingdom’s fastest-growing startups, it is building tools designed to help teams adapt as technology changes and reduce time spent on tasks that can be automated. The business already has paying customers and is using the investment to deepen its product, scale go-to-market efforts, and support more operations teams.
Operations teams have been handed tools built for engineers and told to get on with it. Rivulo exists to fix that. Our goal is to help the people who spend their days firefighting get to a place where the repetitive work just gets done, without them having to think about it.
Rivulo is tackling a problem that every operations team recognises but few tools actually solve. Mike and Tom have the right combination of technical depth and real-world ops experience to build something that genuinely works for the people who need it most. We're excited to back them at this stage.
