About Capsa AI

Empowering Private Equity with Advanced AI – Capsa AI is an operating system that aggregates, structures, and generates insights from company and market data.


Our AI solutions reduce time spent on mechanical tasks and increase returns by analysing vast amounts of data to provide clear, actionable insights. Our vision is to become the leading AI platform for private capital funds, transforming how private investments are analysed and managed.


Our Team and Progress

Our founding team has deep domain expertise in Private Equity and AI. Our CEO, Danyal, has over 6 years of experience in Private Equity and Investment Banking at blue-chip financial institutions such as AEA Investors, Citigroup, and Deutsche Bank. Our CTO, Callum, has over 6 years of experience in Machine Learning and AI, having worked at leading defense companies like QinetiQ and retail tech startups such as Standard AI. The entire team are early stage startup veterans, with a passion for building great products.


Just one year after our December 2023 founding, we are already generating revenue, serving top-tier PE funds managing over £30 billion across the US, UK, and Germany. Furthermore, we’ve raised over £1.8 million in funding from prominent fintech venture capitalists and private equity angels, underscoring the confidence of industry leaders in our vision and potential.


Our Philosophy

  • Small team: Small talented teams outperform large and slow-moving companies. We avoid bureaucracy, keep meetings to a minimum and focus on creating value.
  • Simple where possible:We are passionate about new technology (in particular Machine Learning and AI), but we are more passionate about solving problems for our customers. We strive to find the best solution, be it cutting-edge or old-school.
  • Customer obsessed:We take every opportunity to talk to our customers. We obsess over their problems and work every day to make them happy.

  • You thrive in a fast paced environment.
  • You like to take ownership and work independently.
  • You are excited about joining an early-stage venture.

AI Jobs for Career Switchers in Their 30s, 40s & 50s (UK Reality Check)

Changing career into artificial intelligence in your 30s, 40s or 50s is no longer unusual in the UK. It is happening quietly every day across fintech, healthcare, retail, manufacturing, government & professional services. But it is also surrounded by hype, fear & misinformation. This article is a realistic, UK-specific guide for career switchers who want the truth about AI jobs: what roles genuinely exist, what skills employers actually hire for, how long retraining really takes & whether age is a barrier (spoiler: not in the way people think). If you are considering a move into AI but want facts rather than Silicon Valley fantasy, this is for you.

How to Write an AI Job Ad That Attracts the Right People

Artificial intelligence is now embedded across almost every sector of the UK economy. From fintech and healthcare to retail, defence and climate tech, organisations are competing for AI talent at an unprecedented pace. Yet despite the volume of AI job adverts online, many employers struggle to attract the right candidates. Roles are flooded with unsuitable applications, while highly capable AI professionals scroll past adverts that feel vague, inflated or disconnected from reality. In most cases, the issue isn’t a shortage of AI talent — it’s the quality of the job advert. Writing an effective AI job ad requires more care than traditional tech hiring. AI professionals are analytical, sceptical of hype and highly selective about where they apply. A poorly written advert doesn’t just fail to convert — it actively damages your credibility. This guide explains how to write an AI job ad that attracts the right people, filters out mismatches and positions your organisation as a serious employer in the AI space.

Maths for AI Jobs: The Only Topics You Actually Need (& How to Learn Them)

If you are a software engineer, data scientist or analyst looking to move into AI or you are a UK undergraduate or postgraduate in computer science, maths, engineering or a related subject applying for AI roles, the maths can feel like the biggest barrier. Job descriptions say “strong maths” or “solid fundamentals” but rarely spell out what that means day to day. The good news is you do not need a full maths degree worth of theory to start applying. For most UK roles like Machine Learning Engineer, AI Engineer, Data Scientist, Applied Scientist, NLP Engineer or Computer Vision Engineer, the maths you actually use again & again is concentrated in a handful of topics: Linear algebra essentials Probability & statistics for uncertainty & evaluation Calculus essentials for gradients & backprop Optimisation basics for training & tuning A small amount of discrete maths for practical reasoning This guide turns vague requirements into a clear checklist, a 6-week learning plan & portfolio projects that prove you can translate maths into working code.
