London-based AI startup Artificial Societies secured €4.5 million in combined pre-Seed and Seed funding. Point72 Ventures led the €2.8 million Seed round. This capital fuels the company's platform for AI human simulation.
Artificial Societies developed AS, a synthetic persona platform. It tests how virtual groups of AI personas interact with messaging. The platform allows users to simulate target audiences, gaining feedback on product ideas and marketing campaigns. This offers a new method for assessing strategies without traditional panels.
Founded in 2024 by James He and Patrick Sharpe, Artificial Societies joined Y Combinator's W25 batch. The platform launched publicly. They have since run over 100,000 simulations.
Advancing AI Human Behaviour Simulation
The AS platform creates digital societies based on target audience profiles or user social media followers. Simulations operate on a credit system. Each AI persona emulates human characteristics like preferences and decision-making patterns. Users receive performance scores and qualitative feedback from the AI human simulation.
Artificial Societies plans to improve prediction accuracy and build new features. The company also aims to scale partnerships in market research technology and branding. The synthetic persona space sees competition from Synthetic Users, Evidenza, and Ask Rally.
