## **About Us**

We’re a fast-growing, VC-backed AI startup based in Scotland, collaborating with top-tier organisations to craft and scale transformative AI solutions that drive real-world impact. We enable enterprises to solve the highest-value problems by distilling smaller, more focused Small Language Models (SLMs).

Our vision is to unlock the value of AI within enterprise environments by addressing complex problems that general AI cannot solve. Malted AI was born out of distillation techniques that helped founders win the 2022 Amazon Alexa Prize where they beat more than 100 teams from around the globe. Since then, the team has raised £7m from leading Venture Capital firms and is helping enterprises deploy AI at scale.
