About Rulebase

Rulebase is a UK- and Nigeria-based AI startup automating back-office operations for financial services firms. Founded by Nigerian engineers Gideon Ebose and Chidi Williams, Rulebase builds AI “coworkers” that handle compliance, dispute resolution, fraud investigation, and quality assurance—freeing human teams from tedious workflows while ensuring regulatory precision.

Its platform integrates seamlessly with tools like Zendesk, Jira, and Slack, reviewing every customer interaction in real time to flag risks, file disputes, and monitor SLA adherence. Backed by Y Combinator, Bowery Capital, and other top VCs, Rulebase raised $2.1 million in pre-seed funding to expand its engineering team and launch new features for global fintechs.

With operations in Nigeria, the UK, and the USA, Rulebase is redefining how financial institutions manage complexity—one AI coworker at a time
