Our take
Essential AI shifted out of stealth mode in 2023 with the $56.5 million backing of Google and Nvidia, no mean feat for a company founded the year before. It develops full-stack AI products to support productivity by automating time-consuming and monotonous workflows.
Bringing forward experience and knowledge from careers in giants like Google, the company is fuelled with severe understanding of the sector. Though in its primitive stages, its promise of benefiting enterprise operations by deepening the relationship between computers and humans led to its exciting raise in funding.
This Series B will allow the company to build a diverse team to delve into a new market, building tools that will drastically change the scale productivity for its customers. With ambitious goals, we’re excited to see the specifics of what Essential AI will bring to the space moving forward.
