Hark announces $700 million fundraising round

Hark is an artificial intelligence 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.

Today, we're announcing a fundraising round that cements our ambitions.

We've raised over $700 million in Series A funding at a $6 billion post-money valuation. Led by Parkway Venture Capital, demand from investors was significant and oversubscribed, with participation from friends at NVIDIA, Align Ventures, AMD Ventures, ARK Invest, Brookfield, Greycroft, Intel Capital, Prime Movers Lab, Qualcomm Ventures, Salesforce Ventures, and Tamarack Global.

With these resources, we're hiring some of the best talent from across the industry. Over the past several months, our team has grown to around 70 people. 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 still a lean startup that's attempting to solve some of the biggest challenges of our era. But without the burden of existing product lines and legacy code, we don't have to wedge AI into something that already exists. We're constructing a seamlessly integrated, AI-native future from a blank page of possibility.

We're working on an AI platform that will be available this summer. Its models will be agentic and multimodal, built to remember who you are and what you say. They'll work across the products and services you already use, managing your digital world as a caring, capable assistant that eventually acts with human-level intuition.

Next up comes the next generation hardware, intentionally designed to be AI-native from the start and integrate with Hark's foundation models. It's this mix of hardware and software, of physical product and ethereal knowledge, that will transform promising AI technology into a meaningful, human-first experience.

We have a generational opportunity to replace existing digital experiences with a more thoughtful computer. Something that's less obtrusive, more helpful, and more fun. Something that always has your best interests at heart.

And we can't wait to show you what we've been working on.
