Flip raises £19m to bring AI tools to deskless workers

Flip has raised £19m to bring artificial intelligence (AI)-powered tools to deskless workers, with Notion Capital and HV Capital deepening their investment in the business. 

The funding will be used to scale up Flip’s platform so frontline staff in sectors like retail, logistics, care and hospitality can get digital access to AI, not just office-based workers.

Benedikt Brand (pictured), co-founder and CEO at Flip, said: “AI has long been part of everyday life in the office but, on the assembly line, in stores, or in care settings, it has barely arrived. 

“This isn’t due to a lack of interest, but because many frontline organisations lack the digital identity and infrastructure required for AI to make a difference in daily operational work. 

“That is exactly the gap Flip closes: with secure digital identity, AI agents, and custom-generated frontline apps on a single platform.”

Brand added: “We want to see a world where AI leaves no employee behind. 

“This is why we are building the digital foundation companies need to bring their operational workforce into the AI era. 

“After all, AI will only unlock its greatest economic value once it reaches every employee, not just those at a desk.”
