AgileRL, a London-based AI startup focused on making reinforcement learning (RL) more accessible and scalable for companies, has raised $7.5 million in a seed funding round to expand its platform and accelerate growth as demand for advanced AI training tools rises. The financing was led by Fusion Fund, and the round included participation from Flying Fish, Octopus Ventures, Entrepreneur First and Counterview Capital, bringing strong early support from investors active in deep tech and AI infrastructure. The capital will be used to open a new office in San Francisco, hire engineering and go-to-market talent, and further develop AgileRL’s flagship platform Arena a full-stack reinforcement learning operations toolset that helps engineers and data scientists run simulations, fine-tune models and monitor RL systems in one centralized environment. Reinforcement learning, a technique in which AI systems learn through trial and incremental feedback, is gaining renewed interest as companies look for ways to build adaptive models for robotics, autonomous systems and dynamic decision-making tasks. AgileRL’s technology aims to remove barriers that have historically made reinforcement learning costly and difficult to integrate into production workflows by providing a managed platform that handles core RL processes, from simulation to deployment. The company reports that its open-source frameworks have been downloaded more than 300,000 times and that corporate users such as Airbus, IBM and JPMorgan have utilised its tools, demonstrating real enterprise interest in practical reinforcement learning solutions. AgileRL was founded in 2023 by Param Kumar and Nicholas Ustaran-Anderegg, and has quickly positioned itself as a bridge between academic RL research and industry adoption. The co-founders bring expertise in machine learning and software engineering, and their vision is to make reinforcement learning a practical foundation for building next-generation intelligent systems that learn and adapt over time. The company’s growth plans include scaling its engineering team, increasing commercial traction and continuing to expand its global presence. #AgileRL, #ReinforcementLearning, #RLOps, #SeedFunding, #AITraining, #FusionFund, #AIInfrastructure, #MachineLearning, #EntrepreneurFirst, #OctopusVentures, #TechStartups, #Innovation, #AIPlatforms
