Rogo has opened its first international office in London, marking a major step in the company’s global expansion as demand for enterprise-grade artificial intelligence accelerates across the financial sector.
The move positions Rogo in Europe’s leading financial centre, allowing the AI platform to deepen relationships with major European banks, support hands-on deployment of its technology, and tap into London’s finance and technology talent pool.
Rogo’s European expansion is underpinned by a $75 million Series C funding round led by Sequoia Capital, with participation from Henry Kravis and Wells Fargo. Existing backers including Thrive Capital, Khosla Ventures, Tiger Global and J.P. Morgan also participated. The latest raise takes Rogo’s total funding to more than $165 million.
The company said the new capital will accelerate its European growth, expand research and development capabilities, and support North American clients with cross-border operations.
Rogo’s platform is designed specifically for financial institutions, enabling secure, compliant AI deployment at scale. The company said its expansion into Europe comes as banks and asset managers move beyond pilot projects and begin rolling out AI across core business functions.
London was chosen as the company’s European base due to its status as a global financial hub and its deep pool of regulatory, financial and technical expertise. Rogo said it is integrating local regulatory requirements and data standards into its platform to help European institutions deploy AI securely and at scale.
The company now employs more than 100 people across offices in New York and London.
John Willett, Rogo’s co-founder and chief operating officer, will relocate to London full-time to lead the company’s European operations.
“We’re seeing European financial institutions shift beyond AI pilots to scaled, enterprise-grade deployments,” Willett said. “Our London office represents a long-term investment to meet that moment. We’re building a team of AI and finance experts to help firms navigate complex regulatory frameworks and deploy AI in a bespoke and secure way.”
Rogo said its goal is to support European institutions as they play a more active role in shaping the next generation of autonomous financial agents, as AI becomes increasingly embedded in global financial markets.
The expansion reflects broader momentum in financial AI adoption, with banks and investment firms under pressure to improve efficiency, risk management and decision-making while maintaining strict regulatory compliance.
