London, UK, 11 August 2022 – RiskSmart, the integrated risk management platform, today
announces its launch to the UK market having secured over £1m investment from NPIF
Maven Equity Finance and other institutional investors.

RiskSmart was founded by Ryan Swann and Michael Aldred, who bring extensive
experience in risk management and FinTech services. The startup will aim to simplify risk for
small to medium businesses that have been underserved by complex and expensive
platforms, frameworks and manual processes in the industry.

Utilising data and AI technology, RiskSmart offers tech-led, automated, and centralised risk
management that increases confidence and business resilience.

Ryan Swann, Founder of RiskSmart, says, “ RiskSmart’s mission is to help businesses
succeed through simple, smart, and state-of-the-art risk management. Having been in the
industry for many years myself, I recognised a gap in the market to provide risk management
in a better way. We’re starting the risk management revolution and empowering risk,
compliance and legal teams to digitise their services.”

Supported by an extensively experienced senior management team, including Matthew
Rudd (Head of Product), Emma Bamford (Head of Customer Success), and Jonathan
Sabinsky (Head of Sales & Marketing), RiskSmart has ambitious plans for significant growth
by the end of 2024 and to secure Gartner recognition within the same time frame.

Dean Cox, Senior Investment Manager at Maven, comments, “This is an exciting investment
for Maven and NPIF. More established providers of risk management solutions focus on
larger companies and are priced accordingly, so there is a clear gap in the market for an
ambitious business like RiskSmart to target the underserved SME segment. The team has
significant experience in this sector, and we look forward to helping them move a step closer
to creating an enterprise product which can be scaled.”
