LONDON. September 16, 2026: Evident has been named one of the Future Fifty, the UK’s leading late-stage growth programme for tech companies that has supported over 35% of the UK’s unicorns. Previous participants include household names Monzo, Revolut and Deliveroo.

This recognition reflects Evident's continued rise as the leading AI benchmarking and intelligence platform, since launching the inaugural Evident AI for Banks in 2023. Evident is now the global benchmark for AI adoption in financial services, combining deep financial services expertise with best-in-class technical expertise. Today it benchmarks over 100 firms spanning the globe, including banking, payments, insurance and, shortly, asset management firms. 

Evident’s growth over the past two years follows a £5m Series A fundraise from investors including Mala Gaonkar, Lance Uggla, Venrex and HearstLab. Evident now works with over 50 of the world’s largest financial services firms, with a growing team nearing 100 people.

Alexandra Mousavizadeh, Evident Co-founder and Co-CEO said:

“Being selected for the Future Fifty is testament to our unique view of what is happening at the frontier of AI in financial services. By tracking what the world’s leading institutions are actually building, deploying and investing in, we give them an unparalleled front-row seat on where AI is creating real impact. I’m grateful to the clients and partners who have backed Evident and challenged us to think bigger.”

Annabel Ayles, Evident Co-founder and Co-CEO said:

“Being a part of Future Fifty is a wonderful recognition of how far we’ve come, and the team who helped us get here. We’re bringing together human expertise and AI-first technology to help more than 50 of the world’s largest financial institutions understand where AI is creating real impact and make better decisions about how to invest and adopt it.”
