Rivulo, the no-code automation platform built for non-technical operations teams, has closed a £375,000 pre-seed funding round led by SFC Capital to accelerate product development and expand its go-to-market efforts.

Operations teams across the UK are drowning in repetitive manual work, processes that eat 10+ hours a week and pull people away from what actually matters. Rivulo solves this by letting ops teams build and run automations through conversation, with no coding required.

"Operations teams have been handed tools built for engineers and told to get on with it. Rivulo exists to fix that. Our goal is to help the people who spend their days firefighting get to a place where the repetitive work just gets done, without them having to think about it." — Mike Miner, Co-Founder & CEO, Rivulo

"Rivulo is tackling a problem that every operations team recognises but few tools actually solve. Mike and Tom have the right combination of technical depth and real-world ops experience to build something that genuinely works for the people who need it most. We're excited to back them at this stage." — Edward Stevenson,  Fund Principal, SFC Capital

Rivulo was founded by serial entrepreneur Tom Whiteley and Mike Miner, who has led operations for some of the UK's fastest-growing startups. Together they are building for a world where AI is changing faster than most teams can keep up with, and where the goal isn't to replace people, but to free them up to focus on the work that actually needs a human.

The company already has paying customers and will use the investment to deepen its product, scale its go-to-market efforts, and help more operations teams make better use of their skills rather than burning them on tasks that could be automated.
