Seamflow, a certification workflow software startup, has raised £3.3 million in a seed round co-led by Northzone and Initialised Capital. Entrepreneur First and Nebular also participated in the round. The funding will support expansion of the team, enhancement of product capabilities, and support for a growing number of TIC organisations globally.
Seamflow operates in the Testing, Inspection and Certification (TIC) sector, where certification bodies handle audits, reviews and complex documentation before products reach the market or infrastructure goes live. As regulatory requirements grow more complex, certification bodies are struggling to keep up with demand. Over 25,000 medical devices in the EU are currently stuck in approval queues, with some waiting more than 20 months for clearance. The platform embeds AI into certification workflows to help teams organise documentation, coordinate reviews and reduce administrative workload, with the aim of cutting certification timelines to under three months.
The platform is expanding beyond medical devices into the broader £230B TIC market, which underpins factory operations and industrial infrastructure. It is already working with major enterprise certifiers on document management, auditor scheduling and multi-team review coordination. By removing repetitive tasks, the platform is designed to free expert capacity and enable teams to focus on judgement-based decisions.
The team includes alumni from FUSE Energy as well as Google, Amazon and X. According to Konstantin Klingler, the main alternatives are in-house platforms built on general-purpose tools such as Palantir, alongside legacy systems.
