Nous Closes $17M Series A

Nous, a London-based consumer AI company, has raised a $17 million Series A round led by Heartcore Capital. The funding date is recorded as October 26, 2026.

What Nous Does

Nous operates an AI agent that takes over household bills and admin for UK homes. The agent handles tasks including:

  • Moving users to cheaper energy, broadband, mobile, and car-insurance deals.
  • Cancelling unwanted subscriptions.
  • Filling in forms.
  • Flagging contract renewal traps.
  • Managing family calendars.
  • Booking tradespeople.

The company pairs large language models with fixed rules for sensitive money decisions. Nous is registered with the UK Financial Conduct Authority, which allows it to act on regulated products such as insurance.

Traction

According to the company, nearly 250,000 UK households use the agent. Nous says the agent manages over GBP 685 million of household spending a year and saves a typical home GBP 734 on its bills.

Founding and Background

Nous was founded in 2021 by Greg Marsh, a co-founder of onefinestay. The company is headquartered in London and operates the domain nous.co.

The mix of LLM-driven interaction and fixed rules for sensitive money decisions is central to how Nous positions its agent for household financial and administrative tasks.
