London-based AI startup FYLD has raised €34 million in Series B funding to expand its AI-powered frontline intelligence platform, designed to improve safety, efficiency, and operational visibility across global infrastructure sectors.
The funding round was led by Energy Impact Partners LP, with participation from growth equity investor Partech through its Growth Impact Fund. The investment will support FYLD’s continued international expansion, product development, and deployment across energy, construction, water, and industrial infrastructure environments.
The raise comes amid strong momentum for the company, which reported 82% year-on-year growth as infrastructure operators increasingly adopt AI-driven tools to manage distributed field workforces and reduce operational risk.
Solving critical infrastructure workforce challenges with AI
FYLD’s AI frontline intelligence platform addresses one of the biggest operational challenges in infrastructure industries: managing large, distributed field teams while ensuring safety, compliance, and productivity.
Traditional field operations rely heavily on manual reporting, delayed communication, and limited visibility into real-time conditions. This often results in safety incidents, project delays, compliance failures, and costly rework.
FYLD replaces static reporting systems with real-time intelligence captured directly from the field. Workers use mobile devices to record short videos of ongoing tasks instead of filling out traditional forms. The platform’s AI analyses these videos instantly to detect potential risks, compliance gaps, and operational inefficiencies.
This approach allows organisations to move from reactive management to predictive and proactive decision-making.
According to the company, customers using the platform have achieved measurable results, including up to 48% reductions in serious worksite incidents and faster project delivery timelines.
Scaling globally as infrastructure investment accelerates
FYLD’s platform is already used by major infrastructure organisations managing tens of thousands of field workers. Its customer base includes global engineering, construction, and industrial companies such as Ferrovial, Kiewit Corporation, Quanta Services, Sulzer, and Emery Sapp & Sons.
The company has also significantly expanded its presence in the United States, where infrastructure investment continues to accelerate. FYLD expects more than 40% of its total revenue to come from US operations by the end of 2026.
This growth reflects increasing demand for digital solutions that help organisations manage complex infrastructure projects more safely and efficiently.
Matthias Dill, Managing Partner for Europe at Energy Impact Partners, highlighted the importance of operational intelligence as infrastructure investment scales.
He noted that rising demand for energy infrastructure and data centres requires new levels of workforce productivity and safety, which AI-powered tools like FYLD can deliver.
How FYLD’s AI platform improves safety, productivity, and compliance
FYLD’s technology converts frontline work into structured operational intelligence through continuous AI analysis of field data.
Key platform capabilities include:
- Real-time risk detection through AI video analysis
- Automated compliance monitoring and documentation
- Live operational visibility across multiple job sites
- Predictive insights to prevent delays and incidents
- Automated audit trails and regulatory reporting
By analysing live field data, FYLD helps companies identify potential safety risks and operational issues before they escalate, enabling faster intervention and prevention.
This capability is particularly valuable in industries such as energy, utilities, and construction, where safety risks and operational complexity are high.
Leadership driving infrastructure AI innovation
FYLD was founded in 2020 by CEO Shelley Copsey and her co-founders with a mission to bring real-time intelligence to frontline infrastructure operations.
Shelley Copsey has extensive experience building enterprise technology companies focused on operational performance and digital transformation. Under her leadership, FYLD has grown rapidly and established itself as a key provider of AI-powered infrastructure intelligence solutions.
Copsey emphasised that infrastructure companies are shifting away from reactive workforce management towards predictive, AI-driven operational models.
She said the company’s platform enables organisations to replace hindsight-based decision-making with real-time, data-driven operational certainty while improving worker safety.
Building the future of frontline intelligence for infrastructure
FYLD operates at the intersection of artificial intelligence, operational software, and infrastructure technology—one of the fastest-growing segments of enterprise software.
As global infrastructure investment increases, driven by energy transition, urban development, and digital infrastructure expansion, demand for intelligent workforce management tools is expected to grow rapidly.
The company’s AI-powered frontline intelligence platform helps organisations reduce operational risk, increase productivity, and scale infrastructure projects more efficiently.
With the new €34 million investment, FYLD plans to accelerate product innovation, expand into new international markets, and strengthen its position as a global leader in infrastructure AI.
As infrastructure projects become more complex and workforce safety becomes increasingly critical, AI-powered frontline intelligence platforms like FYLD’s are emerging as essential digital infrastructure for modern industrial operations.
