📝 Articul8 raises $70M

News of the Day

Articul8, the enterprise AI startup that emerged from Intel just two years ago, has achieved a blistering fivefold valuation surge to $500 million as it closes in on a $70 million Series B funding round. Led by Spain’s Adara Ventures, this capital injection reflects a high-conviction bet on "vertical AI" for regulated sectors like aerospace and energy, where the company’s specialized, on-premises models are outperforming general-purpose LLMs in both accuracy and data security. CEO Arun Subramaniyan has navigated the firm to a robust $90 million in total contract value across 29 blue-chip clients, including Hitachi Energy and Franklin Templeton, positioning Articul8 as a rare revenue-positive player in a crowded field. By eschewing the "one-size-fits-all" approach of larger labs in favor of domain-specific agents that reason across complex engineering and financial data, the Santa Clara-based firm is proving that the most lucrative frontier of the AI boom may not be in the public cloud, but within the air-gapped, highly audited environments of the world’s most critical industries.
