Maven invests £15m in Chorus Intelligence to grow AI-powered digital investigative platform
Maven Capital Partners has completed a £15 million investment in digital intelligence specialist Chorus Intelligence, backing the fast-growing software company as it expands its AI-enabled platform and accelerates international growth.
The deal, led by Maven’s UK Regional Buyout Fund II, will support the next phase of development for Chorus, whose technology is widely used by law enforcement agencies, government agencies and corporate organizations to investigate complex digital crimes.
Founded in 2011, Chorus has spent more than a decade developing professional software that helps investigators analyze large volumes of digital information. Its tools are designed to connect multiple data sources, uncover relationships between suspects and criminal networks, and streamline the investigative process in an era where digital evidence has become central to modern policing and corporate security.
Central to the company’s growth strategy is the Chorus Intelligence Suite (CIS), a next-generation platform that allows multiple investigators to collaborate while analyzing complex data sets. The system automates the processing of structured and unstructured information, allowing users to connect different data points, identify patterns very quickly and create strong evidence-based results.
The platform has gained traction in both the UK and US markets, where law enforcement and security organizations are increasingly looking for advanced analytics tools to combat the rise of digital crime.
According to the company, CIS brings measurable benefits to its customers by significantly reducing the time required to process large datasets and uncover connections between people, events and digital evidence.
The £15 million investment will allow Chorus to further develop the technology behind the platform, including expanding its artificial intelligence capabilities and incorporating additional automated features designed to improve investigative efficiency. The funding will also support the company’s plans for international expansion and potential acquisitions as it attempts to consolidate the diverse market for digital investigative tools.
Tom Purkis, (pictured) partner at Maven Capital Partners, said the investment reflects the strong demand for digital intelligence tools across the security and law enforcement sectors.
“Chorus is a fast-growing business operating in a market that is growing structurally,” he said. “Digital intelligence has become an important part of modern investigations.
“The company has invested heavily in technology and the next-generation platform is already delivering measurable benefits and return on investment for UK and US customers. We are delighted to support the team as it continues to grow the business and expand its global presence.”
Boyd Mulvey, founder and executive chairman of Chorus Intelligence, said the investment marks a milestone for the company as it prepares to accelerate product development and global expansion.
“The entire Chorus team is excited to welcome Maven,” he said. “This investment marks an important step in our journey as we enter the next phase of growth.
“The expertise Maven brings to high-growth technology companies will be invaluable as we accelerate our AI product roadmap, expand our global footprint and continue to deliver exceptional value to our customers.”
The deal also reflects broader trends across the security and intelligence sector, where the proliferation of digital data and the growing sophistication of cyber and organized crime are driving the need for investigative technology.
Maven Capital Partners is one of the UK’s leading private equity investors, typically investing between £10 million and £20 million in high-growth businesses. Its acquisitions team has completed 38 platform acquisitions and 26 exits to date, delivering an average return of nearly three times the original investment.
As digital crime continues to rise and investigative workloads become more complex, the market for AI-driven investigative platforms is expected to grow exponentially in the coming years. Maven’s support positions Chorus Intelligence to grow its expertise and compete globally in a field where data analysis and digital evidence are rapidly becoming the backbone of modern investigations.
