Hanei Limited

Hanei is an innovative company providing an AI-driven retail media solution that enhances advertising effectiveness by targeting customers at the point of sale through intelligent in-store screens. Founded in 2026, Hanei Limited is based in London, UK, and specializes in AI-driven retail media solutions. The company successfully raised GBP 210,000 in pre-seed funding from Antler on December 17, 2025. There have been no noted pivots or subsidiary relationships as of now.

The founder's history is not available. Hanei offers an intelligent in-store advertising platform that harnesses AI technology to connect brands and retailers. Its core product features an advertising system that utilizes in-store screens to display targeted ads at the point of sale, effectively engaging customers during their purchase decisions. The platform employs smart targeting using anonymized behaviors like age, time of day, and shopping patterns to ensure ads reach the appropriate audience.

Hanei also includes an AI Creative Studio that enables rapid generation of on-brand advertisements, catering to a wide spectrum of clients, including brands and retailers aiming to enhance customer engagement. The company primarily operates in the United Kingdom with aspirations for geographical expansion into new markets. Hanei's revenue model is based on partnerships with retailers who install advertising screens at no cost. This allows retailers to earn passive revenue from displayed ads, while brands purchase advertising space tailored to specific demographics and behaviors.

The platform offers real-time analytics and budget management tools to help brands monitor engagement and adjust campaigns effectively. Brands pay for advertising campaigns through a subscription-like arrangement based on their targeting needs, enabling Hanei to generate revenue while providing advertising solutions to its varied client base. Hanei Limited plans to leverage the recently secured GBP 210,000 in pre-seed funding to support its growth strategy, which includes the development of new products and expansion into additional geographical regions. The company aims to enhance its platform's capabilities further and is exploring entry into international markets to broaden its reach.

Specific targets for new markets and product launches have yet to be disclosed but are anticipated as Hanei continues to scale its operations.
