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 increases across the financial sector.
The move positions Rogo in Europe’s leading financial center and enables the AI platform to deepen relationships with major European banks, support the practical use 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 such as Thrive Capital, Khosla Ventures, Tiger Global and JP Morgan also participated. The latest raise brings Rogo’s total funding to over $165 million.
The company said the new capital will accelerate its European growth, expand research and development capabilities and support North American customers in cross-border activities.
Rogo’s platform is designed specifically for financial institutions and enables secure, compliant AI deployment at scale. The company said its expansion into Europe comes at a time when banks and asset managers are moving beyond pilots and beginning to adopt AI across core business functions.
London was chosen as the company’s European base due to its status as a global financial center and its extensive 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 safely and at scale.
The company now employs more than 100 people in offices in New York and London.
John Willett, Rogo’s co-founder and chief operating officer, will move to London full-time to lead the company’s European operations.
“We are seeing European financial institutions move from AI pilots to scaled, enterprise-level implementations,” said Willett. “Our London office represents a long-term investment to meet this moment. We are building a team of AI and finance experts to help companies navigate complex regulatory environments and use AI in a tailored and secure way.”
Rogo said his goal is to help European institutions 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 as banks and investment firms face pressure to improve efficiency, risk management and decision-making while maintaining strict regulatory compliance.
