Stelia builds the infrastructure layer for enterprise artificial intelligence, founded in 2021 by Tobias Hooton and based in London. The company identified a critical gap in the market: while organisations had access to powerful AI models, they lacked the governed infrastructure to deploy them safely at scale. Rather than a problem of intelligence, the constraint was trust.
The company has evolved into a research-led applied AI team developing production-grade systems centred on auditability and compliance. Stelia OS is the flagship platform, installing at the point of execution to render every AI action auditable by default. It provides the operational backbone enterprises require - one that is governed, compliant, and engineered for real-world deployment. Hyperband, the company's data mobility platform, enables organisations to extract full value from their AI investments by managing data flow at infrastructure speed.
Stelia's mission addresses the technical and ethical dimensions of deploying AI at scale: architecting systems for an autonomous era where trust, governance, and accountability are embedded from foundation to deployment. The company's work is informed by the conviction that responsible AI deployment is both a technical imperative and a humanitarian one.
