Eightfold AI raises $220m, doubles valuation in six months

June, 10 2021

Eightfold AI

Today we announced that Eightfold AI has raised $220M in Series E Funding, valuing the organization at $2.1B. The round was led by SoftBank’s Vision Fund 2.

Hear directly from our Co-CEO & Co-Founder Ashutosh Garg, as well as SoftBank’s Senior Managing Partner Deep Nishar, about today’s announcement:

Since the announcement of Eightfold AI’s Series D funding round in October of 2020, the valuation of the organization has more than doubled. This is a direct result of the significant momentum achieved by customers and partners in the public and private sector.
