Hark raised $700 million in a Series A round valuing the company at $6 billion post-money. The funding was led by Parkway Venture Capital and included multiple major technology and investment firms. Hark has revealed few specifics about its product, but it is building an agentic AI system intended as a universal interface with the digital world. The company plans to release its first multimodal models in summer, aiming to power a personal AI platform that works with existing products and services. It expects to follow with hardware devices designed for those systems. The new capital will support hiring across hardware, product design, and AI research, and will help secure compute and components, with the company already operating a data center using Nvidia B200 GPUs.
"Hark expects to release its first multi-modal models this summer, which it says will power a personal AI platform that works with existing products and services. The company expects to follow that with hardware devices built specifically for those systems. The fresh cash will be spent on recruiting top talent for hardware, product design and AI research, and on securing compute and components. The company currently has 70 employees, and runs a data center with Nvidia B200 GPUs."
"Perhaps what's most notable about the fundraise is how little Hark has revealed about what it is building. Founder and CEO, Brett Adcock, also the entrepreneur behind robotics company Figure.AI and electric aircraft builder Archer, launched Hark in late 2025 with $100 million of his own money to develop an agentic AI system that serves as a universal interface with the digital world."
"The mega round was led by Parkway Venture Capital, and included Align Ventures, AMD Ventures, ARK Invest, Brookfield, Greycroft, Intel Capital, Prime Movers Lab, Qualcomm Ventures, Salesforce Ventures and TamarackGlobal. (Phew!) At least according to Hark, an AI lab building models and hardware for an AI personal assistant, which said on Thursday that it had raised that much in a Series A round that values it at $6 billion post-money."
""I haven't seen anything that feels like something that will really help like the normal person," Chowdhury said, speaking of the AI products on the market. "People are really building things to help people make software, and it's working, and it's really impactful, but we haven't real""
