  Deriskly

  London, England

  Deriskly is a specialised AI platform built for regulated enterprises—particularly in UK financial services—to transform how they create, test, and analyse customer communications. Founded in 2020 by Tatiana Botskina and Mimi Zou, the company addresses the mounting pressure on firms to meet conduct‑related regulations such as the Consumer Duty, while simultaneously improving customer engagement and operational efficiency. The platform operates on two interconnected pillars: Communications and Customer Analytics. On the communications side, Deriskly uses natural‑language processing and controllable LLMs to help marketing and product teams draft clear, brand‑aligned, and compliant messaging before it ships. On the analytics side, it ingests feedback from complaints, calls, surveys, and support tickets to surface root causes of dissatisfaction and prioritise product improvements. By closing the loop between what companies communicate and what customers actually experience, Deriskly enables data‑driven decision‑making that lifts conversion rates, cuts complaint volumes, and proves measurable impact. Headquartered in London, England, Deriskly is a privately held company with a lean team of 2–10 employees. It has raised seed funding from investors including SantanderX and the Alchemist Accelerator, and is trusted by leading financial institutions.
