Congratulations to George Sivulka and the phenomenal team at Hebbia for raising an impressive $130 million in their Series B funding round! This round was led by Andreessen Horowitz, with significant participation from Index Ventures, GV (Google Ventures), and Peter Thiele. Their support underscores Hebbia’s groundbreaking work in AI and document search technology. Hebbia is redefining the future of useful AI. The team is building the human layer – the product layer – to AI, enabling it to work just like a human. Unlike traditional chatbots, Hebbia’s AI can handle complex tasks and vast datasets with the transparency and flexibility of a human analyst. This innovative platform is already deployed at scale by leading asset managers, law firms, banks, and Fortune 100 companies. Hebbia’s AI agents are transforming how these organizations operate, delivering unprecedented efficiencies and insights: - During the SVB crisis, asset managers instantly mapped exposure to regional banks across millions of documents. - Activist investors identified inconsistencies across countless 8Ks while filing proxy attacks. - Corporate lawyers gained a negotiation edge by quantifying market terms in real-time. - Thousands of AI agents priced private assets more effectively, conducted new types of diligence, screened more opportunities, and much more. Hebbia’s technology is poised to bring massive disruption to financial markets and professional services, driving progress and efficiency on an unparalleled scale. The team’s remarkable achievements over the last 18 months, including a 15X revenue growth, a quintupling of headcount, and driving over 2% of OpenAI’s daily volume, highlight their relentless dedication and vision. This substantial funding will enable Hebbia to further accelerate its growth, expand its team, and continue developing its AI-driven solutions. The company's mission is clear: to build the most important software product of the next 100 years. #StartupFunding #AI #TechInnovation #DocumentSearch #SeriesB #VentureCapital #TechNews #Innovation #Hebbia #Innovation #ArtificialIntelligence #Software #Growth #Technology
