"The West is under growing pressure to reindustrialise, but that renaissance won’t be powered by net new companies alone. It requires equipping our industrial champions with the tools to harness their data, navigate the AI transition and compete on a global stage. That’s exactly why we founded Arrakis"
The Series B round was co-led by Salesforce Ventures and Spark Capital to support product development for tendering teams.
"The investment in AutogenAI by Salesforce Ventures highlights our conviction that AutogenAI’s software is a game-changer for enterprises that secure business via tendering and drafting proposals,"
Blossom Capital has led a £17.2m investment in AutogenAI to support product development and international expansion.
"We build language engines that help organisations to write bids, tenders and proposals more efficiently and more effectively. Our technology augments human expertise by enhancing the power of bid writing teams. This is a clear example of AI being used for public good, reducing the cost of bidding and freeing up taxpayers’ money for the delivery of services. We’re looking forward to working closely with Blossom Capital to build on the progress we’ve achieved so far."
The $1bn financing round was supported by a consortium of global investors led by firms such as Altimeter and GIC.
"At our core, we help enterprise merchants to navigate the complexity of moving money around the world, whether in fiat currency or bridging the gap to Web3,"
