SUMMARY

Founded by Marc Warner, Angie Ma and Andrew Brookes in London, Faculty is a leading applied artificial intelligence (AI) company that develops, deploys and operates cutting-edge AI techniques to maximise its customers’ performance. Applying AI-as-a-service in both the public and private sectors, Faculty seeks to unlock a new reality where organisations can make proactive, high quality decisions with unprecedented access to real-time data. The principles that AI should be trustworthy, impactful and beneficial across society have shaped Faculty’s work with more than 230 organisations, placing Faculty amongst the 100 fastest growing technology companies in the UK for 3 years running. Early investors include Apax Digital Fund, Guardian Media Group Ventures, LocalGlobe and Jaan Tallinn, a founding engineer at Skype.

OUR PARTNERSHIP

Working within the emerging discipline of artificial intelligence, and engaging with the emerging talent market that has grown around it, the key to our partnership has been differentiating the story of Faculty. This hinged upon its transition from a service-led to a product-led company, an evolution and vision which needed to be communicated effectively to candidates as Faculty built and augmented its C-suite with the first external hires. Developing Faculty’s story attracted expert talent and ultimately accelerated Faculty’s growth in a mass-market category where future opportunities are profound.
