“We are delighted to further support Silta Finance and its highly experienced team led by Ben Sheppard in this latest funding round, as cornerstone investors.
The feasibility and due diligence process for infrastructure projects is known to be extremely time consuming and cumbersome. Silta aims to address this industry-wide challenge head-on with their advanced AI methodology. AI is already proving that it has the potential to redefine complex processes and transform industries, thereby providing a significant competitive advantage to companies such as Silta who are first movers in integrating these new tools into their business models.
We see this investment in Silta as a great fit for Coinsilium’s project portfolio and we will be following their progress very closely going forward.”
Ben Sheppard, Co-founder at Silta commented:
“In the past year, Silta has meticulously crafted a proprietary model featuring 360 data points for evaluating the bankability of infrastructure projects. We have successfully conducted pilot tests in sectors including solar energy and high-speed drone highways, affirming the model's robustness. The fresh injection of capital from this current funding round will be instrumental in advancing our next developmental phase, particularly in integrating legal and sustainability dimensions into Silta's AI capabilities.
Working with Coinsilium has been an enriching experience; Malcolm and Eddy’s insights have been invaluable in helping us shape our strategy, honing our product-market fit, and refining our go-to-market approach.
We now have a robust sales pipeline with an estimated US$12 million of fees and we are eagerly looking forward to the next 12 months as we work to introduce Silta AI to a global clientele."
