The round was led by Archangel, Europe’s first dedicated defence investment platform, with participation from Amadeus Capital Partners and Seven Capital.
“AI represents the next opportunity for a qualitative offset in defence, offering the free world a chance to solidify its technological advantage. The challenge is that AI’s nature demands unified scaling across data, talent and infrastructure. That’s why Offset Labs exists, to bring everything from data curation to research under one roof and unlock deep AI innovation for defence customers, ensuring Western leadership in this critical domain,” shared Borys Nadykto, CEO and Co-founder at Offset Labs.
Founded in 2024 by engineers Denys Budnyk, Borys Nadykto, and Andrii Yakovyna, Offset Labs is split between London and Kyiv while building decisive AI-advantage achieved through technological superiority for NATO Allies. The team has designed and deployed specialised AI models for signal and voice processing in operational environments.
Archangel’s investment will accelerate Offset Labs’ mission to deliver next-generation AI solutions that strengthen the resilience and capabilities of allied defence ecosystems.
“We are delighted to lead Offset Labs’ round. They represent the best of European defence innovation: tenacious, mission-driven founders, solving very real critical needs, with technology that can provide military superiority. We are proud to back the team, their vision, and provide hands-on support to their growth at a critical time for defence technology,” added Nicholas Nelson, General Partner at Archangel.
This investment underscores Archangel’s strategy to back Europe’s most ambitious defence-first founders building cutting-edge defence technologies, ensuring allied nations maintain and grow a decisive advantage in the evolving international security landscape.
