UK startup Tyten lands €856k investment to modernise facilities-management processes
Tyten (formerly Fixo), a London-based AI company innovating the facilities management sector, has secured €856k (£750k) in investment in order to modernise the functioning of electrical, plumbing, structural and mechanical systems.
The investment was co-led by Fuel Ventures and Concrete Ventures, with follow-on participation from Antler.
Vladimir Pushmin, CEO and co-founder of Tyten, said: “Facilities management is the invisible backbone of every building – but the technology behind it hasn’t kept up and has lacked the innovation needed. We built Tyten to solve that, working hand in hand with technicians and help desk teams to understand their real challenges.”
In 2025, activity across Europe in AI-enabled building and facilities-management technology has been steady, with Swiss startup viboo raising €3.3 million to scale its AI-driven building-management platform and expand into Germany, while Estonian firm Bisly secured €4.3 million to accelerate the rollout of its smart-building automation solutions across Central and Western Europe.
Combined with Tyten’s own €856k raise, these bring the total reported 2025 funding in this segment to roughly €8.5 million.
Taken together, these rounds indicate continued investor confidence in technologies that streamline building operations, whether through full-building automation, energy optimisation, or workflow-level efficiencies.
Within this landscape, Tyten’s focus on digitising help-desk processes and technician diagnostics positions it in a complementary but distinct niche, reflecting a broader trend towards modernising the operational backbone of the built environment.
“This funding round gives us the resources to scale rapidly, accelerate product development, and bring much-needed acceleration to an industry that keeps the world running,” added Pushmin.
Co-founded in 2024 by Vladimir Pushmin (CEO), Sergey Nasonov (CTO), and Tom Petrides (CCO), Tyten’s platform combines intelligent workflow automation for help desks with guided diagnostic tools for technicians, delivering significant original operational efficiencies and improved service outcomes across the built environment.
Tyten’s team combines expertise in energy optimisation, AI, and commercial real estate, bringing first-hand experience to solve the pain points of facilities management teams.
The company explains that their team has spent more than 400 hours shadowing technicians and help desk teams on the ground to understand their workflows, challenges, and daily realities. This direct experience forms the foundation of Tyten’s product design philosophy – creating a solution built specifically for the unique needs of facilities management, rather than retrofitting tools built for other industries.
Mark Pearson, Founder of Fuel Ventures, adds: “Facilities management is a trillion-dollar market that’s been left behind by modern technology, and Tyten is seizing that gap with clarity, speed and ambition. At Fuel, we back founders who see massive opportunities where others see legacy industries – and that’s exactly what Tyten has done.
“What stood out to us was the team’s rare mix of deep industry insight and technical execution. They’re not just building a clever tool – they’re reshaping how an entire sector operates. It’s exactly the kind of bold, high-impact vision we love to support, and we’re excited to be backing them on this journey.”
According to data provided by Tyten, the UK facilities management market alone is worth €68 billion (£60 billion), and globally the sector represents a €1.2 trillion ($1.4 trillion) industry. Despite its size, the company says that sector has historically been underserved by tailored AI and automation tools.
This is where the company aims to come in.
Tyten’s AI-powered platform tackles two bottlenecks in facilities management:
- Automating help desk administration – The platform manages repair requests from the moment an issue is reported through to job closure. Its first automation module takes incoming tasks, reaches out to subcontractors, processes technician reports, identifies missing information, and follows up automatically. This reportedly saves help desk employees up to two out of five working days each week.
- Supporting technicians in the field – Tyten provides step-by-step diagnostic and repair guidance, eliminating the need to search manuals or videos mid-job. This allows technicians to execute repairs faster and more accurately, allegedly closing work orders up to 80% faster and improving KPIs for service providers and clients alike.
The new capital will be primarily directed towards engineering and product development, accounting for around 70–80% of the funds. Tyten is rapidly hiring across technical roles to meet growing customer demand.
Taylor Wescoatt, Founder of Concrete VC adds: “We have been impressed with the depth of insight Tyten has developed into this enormous and highly fragmented technology ecosystem. LLM’s offer a new dawn to the painful repetitive processes necessary to keep buildings and their occupiers happy and focussed on what they do best.
“We seek founders who are eager to work closely with real estate operators, enabling them to innovate and improve on services in the built environment. Rarely have we seen such a perfect fit for a new technology, and a strong customer response to an early stage company’s offering.”
