The FT Group announces that the partnership comprises three components: an investment in RavenPack by FT Ventures, an AI content licence framework with FT Professional, and access to selected FT Group products and services. The collaboration reflects a shared commitment to responsible AI grounded in editorial integrity, transparency and attribution.
According to the FT Group, the partnership establishes a responsible framework for the advancement of AI and journalism. Through an FT Professional content licence, RavenPack will integrate FT journalism into three of its core products - Analytics, Annotations and Bigdata.com, the latter will require clients to have a FT Professional licence. This will enable financial institutions to seamlessly combine the FT’s trusted reporting with RavenPack’s analytics products and AI agentic capabilities.
“Our partnership with RavenPack marks a major step forward in how the FT supports the evolving needs of the financial community,” said James Mann, managing director of FT Professional. “This is also the FT’s first distribution partnership purpose-built for the generative AI era, reflecting how professional readers increasingly rely on both human insight and machine-driven analysis.”
“RavenPack is an excellent addition to the FT Ventures portfolio,” said Alexandra Calinikos, chief investment officer of FT Group. “A key focus for us is to back teams who are building technologies that advance professional workflows and strengthen the value of FT journalism for professional users. The investment allows us to create opportunities for strategic collaboration across licensing, advertising and events - with real impact in the market.”
“With the FT’s authoritative content now fueling our suite of intelligence products, we’re accelerating the shift toward AI that mirrors how seasoned analysts think,” said Armando Gonzalez, CEO of RavenPack. “This is the beginning of AI that doesn’t just read the news, it interprets the world.”
