Surge

We’ve raised $8 million in our Series A round to accelerate AI’s ability to solve critical problems in the physical world! Excited to partner with Carbide Ventures, Airbus Ventures, Peak XV Partners, Wavemaker Partners, Techstars and MD One Ventures on our mission to solve the data problem for AI and robotics teams. Together, we’re advancing the frontier of Physical AI, empowering teams to generate physically accurate synthetic training data that enables AI to adapt rapidly to any new scenario. Incredibly grateful for the continued support of our customers and investors, Stephen Lee, Yuichiro Hikosaka, Orli Herschmann, Anandamoy Roychowdhary, Andy Hwang, Matt Kozlov, William McManners, and Rafael Barroso.

At Auquan, we believe work should be inspiring, challenging, and impactful.  But for knowledge workers in finance, it is quite the opposite. That’s why I'm thrilled to announce that Auquan's additional $4.5 million seed raise from Peak XV Partners and Neotribe Ventures, bringing our total seed funding to $8 million. Read on about our mission to liberate financial professionals from the soul-sapping grind and bring meaning back to their work. And how some of the largest financial firms in private equity and credit, asset management and beyond — like UBS, MetLife, Federated Hermes and BC Partners are already experiencing the transformative power of Auquan. Shub Jain and I say this to our team daily, and all of us truly, fundamentally believe this: Auquan is positioned to be one of the most impactful companies in the industry over the next decade. The idea of working without Auquan in finance — spending countless hours on repetitive data searches or manually writing reports and memos — will be as unthinkable as navigating across continents using piles of folded up street maps rather than Google Maps. #ai #rag #aiagents #finance #privateequity #privatecredit #assetmanagement #privatemarkets
