AI
AI at the core of our venture capital strategy
At Rigby Technology Investments, we believe Artificial Intelligence isn’t just another trending technology — it’s a foundational shift shaping what business will look like in the years to come. AI is the future and is central to RTI’s investment strategy.
AI unlocks accelerated value creation
We back technologies that align with strategic goals and deliver measurable outcomes, because AI doesn’t just enable efficiency — it can transform business models and reshape competitive advantages. Those that invest early, build strong data practices, and scale intelligently will pull ahead — both in growth and resilience.
AI demands high-quality data and robust infrastructure
The reliability, security, and trustworthiness of data are central — without strong foundations, AI projects will struggle to scale or deliver value.
AI enhances accessibility
AI lowers the barrier for non-technical users to harness powerful tools through natural language, automation, and smart augmentation. Innovation will no longer be the preserve of specialists — any motivated team can leverage it. We invest in solutions that bring advanced AI within reach of more businesses, enabling new workflows, efficiencies, and creative outputs.
AI requires organisational readiness
Innovation isn’t purely about the tech — it’s about culture, skills, experimentation, willingness to learn from failure, openness to change and future-proofing ways of working.
AI must be ethical, transparent, and responsible
We prioritise governance, trust, ethical use, and compliance — ensuring AI helps rather than harms, and strengthens relationships with customers, partners, and regulators.
AI is regional, collaborative and ecosystem-driven
We believe in supporting innovation not just through capital, but via partnerships with academia, industry, government — especially in regions like the West Midlands, which offer strong untapped potential and synergies.
AI is a long-term play
The pace of change is fast, but sustainable success comes from thinking ahead — making bold, considered investments, planning for scale, and having a vision that extends well beyond short-term gains.
