Heywa Labs

Heywa Labs is building the future of generative UX, developing AI-powered visual search and discovery experiences that adapt to users in real time. The company's consumer application, Heywa, transforms how users interact with information by delivering clean, curated visual experiences that help them find answers, get inspired, and explore ideas. Instead of endless scrolling through ads and lists, Heywa uses generative UX to create dynamic interfaces that unfold and evolve with users, requiring no prompting to be powerful. The founding team brings decades of experience from companies including Google, Apple, Snapchat, and Trainline, with deep technical knowledge in AI, mobile platforms, and large-scale consumer products. CEO Milena Nikolic previously served as CTO at Trainline and Engineering Director at Google Play, while CTO Martin Sturla was an engineering lead at Google working on AI Search and the Play Integrity API. Founded in 2025 and headquartered in London, United Kingdom, Heywa Labs has raised $5 million in seed funding from investors including Cherry Ventures, OpenSeed VC, Pareto Ventures, Plug and Play Tech Center, and Ventures Together. The company believes the most powerful AI systems should be beautiful, joyful, and accessible.
