Today we’re excited to announce over $700 million in Series A funding to accelerate our ambitions to realize a generational leap in computing. Hark is an AI lab building the most advanced, personal intelligence in the world. We're pairing our own foundation models with bespoke hardware to create a universal interface between humans and machines. Toward this goal, we’ve raised our Series A at a $6 billion post-money valuation. In a round led by Parkway Venture Capital, demand from investors was significant and oversubscribed, with participation from NVIDIA, Align Ventures, AMD Ventures, ARK Invest, Brookfield, Greycroft, Intel Capital, Prime Movers Lab, Qualcomm Ventures, Salesforce Ventures, and Tamarack Global. With these resources at Hark’s disposal, we’re hiring some of the best talent from across the industry. We’ve also secured the infrastructure we need to bring many of our visions to life. We’ll train our next generation of models at our new NVIDIA B200 data center. We’re ambitious, but we recognize the incredible challenges ahead. We plan to amplify human capacity, autonomy, and joy with an adept, personalized AI assistant. This is a time when the right way is the hard way. And the right approach requires a blend of bespoke-crafted software and hardware. This round cements our ambitions to build the world-defining AI experiences of tomorrow. And as it turns out, tomorrow isn’t so far away.

Today I'm excited to share that Hark has raised $700M at a $6B valuation When I use these AI models today, they feel basic. They should be able to listen and talk naturally, understand vision, retain persistent memory, and become deeply personalized over time. They should be able to see the world, interact with it, and take action To build that future, the capital we raised today will be used to: → scale our GPU infrastructure → accelerate future AI model development → grow the Hark team from ~70 to 200 engineers → design and build the next generation of AI hardware The Series A round was led by Parkway Venture Capital with participation from NVIDIA, Align Ventures, AMD Ventures, ARK Invest, Brookfield, Greycroft, Intel Capital, Prime Movers Lab, Qualcomm Ventures, Salesforce Ventures, and Tamarack Global At Hark, we are building the most advanced personal intelligence in the world. Intelligence that begins to think like you and sometimes, ahead of you to offload your mental workload
