Eighteen months ago, we embarked on a mission to revolutionize enterprise productivity, pioneering the development of Agentic AI to build universal AI employees. Today, I'm thrilled to share some exciting milestones we've achieved at Ema. We've successfully completed a new round of funding! A heartfelt thank you to our existing and new investors for believing in our vision and supporting us along the way. Your trust and commitment are the driving forces behind our innovation. I'm excited to share that we've been selected to join the prestigious Pegasus Partnership Program by Microsoft. This collaboration is a significant milestone for us, opening new doors for innovation and growth. I'm also proud to announce the launch of our Persona Builder Platform. This cutting-edge platform allows businesses to create customized AI employees (Personas) tailored to their specific needs, bringing unprecedented flexibility and control to our clients--democratizing Agentic AI. Compliance and security have always been at the forefront of our mission. We are already SOC2 Type 2, ISO27001:2022, GDPR, and HIPAA compliant. Recently, we've added NIST CSF 2.0, NIST 800-171, and NIST AI RMF to our compliance standards, ensuring we meet the latest and most rigorous requirements in AI security and risk management. Our hard work is paying off as we've more than tripled our customer base, a testament to the value and impact of our solutions. We are grateful to our clients for their trust and partnership. This is just the beginning. The future holds immense possibilities, and we are more excited than ever to continue pushing the boundaries of AI technology. Thanks to our amazing team for all their incredible work in achieving these milestones. Thank you to our stakeholder for being part of our journey. Stay tuned for more updates!

🌟 Axle has raised a $9M Seed round, led by Accel, to decarbonise the power grid 🌟 We’re on a mission to kick fossil fuels off the grid. This’ll require immense amounts of renewables; it’ll also require a new software architecture to tap into the flexibility of EVs, batteries, and other devices to keep the grid humming when the sun isn’t shining and the wind isn’t blowing. The scale of the challenge is immense - and we’re fortunate to be backed by a group of investors with the track record to match. In addition to Accel and existing investors Picus Capital and Eka Ventures, we’re supported by a team of founder-angels (and a former F1 World Champion!) who knows what it takes to hit the track and take pole position. If you’re motivated to join a world-class team tackling the planet’s most pressing problem, reach out - we’re hiring. Read more from TechCrunch’s Natasha Lomas here: https://lnkd.in/gxNFp89x
