Jedify raises $24M to build AI context graphs
Jedify, a New York-based startup, raised $24 million in a Series A round led by Norwest to build a platform that connects enterprise knowledge sources into a real-time "context graph" for AI agents. The platform ingests structured and unstructured sources (databases, warehouses, SaaS tools, Slack, meeting recordings) and inherits permissions from identity and data systems to govern agent access. Snowflake participated as a strategic investor and will integrate Jedify’s technology with products such as Cortex, Semantic Views, and CoWork. Jedify said it has 10–20 early customers including The Weather Company and will use the funds for product, hiring, and go-to-market expansion.
Naïve raises $28.5M for AI agent infrastructure
Naïve, a startup offering infrastructure that enables AI agents to automate much of the work involved in forming and operating businesses, raised $28.5 million in a Series A led by Nexus Venture Partners. The company says it signed up over 30,000 developer customers and has scaled annual run-rate revenue by 10x to the low double-digit millions in six months. Naïve provides an API and prompts for provisioning payments, email, phone numbers, cloud resources and company incorporation, and is building efficiency-focused infrastructure — including a model router, memory layer, orchestrator, and a serverless runtime for lightweight JavaScript agents — to reduce inference costs. The round included participation from Y Combinator, Zetta, Liquid 2 and several angel investors.
Glean Passes $300M ARR, Promotes AI Cost Savings
Glean, an enterprise AI search startup, announced it has reached $300 million in annual recurring revenue (ARR), up from $100 million 15 months earlier. CEO Arvind Jain said competition from major tech firms (Google, Microsoft, OpenAI, Anthropic, Salesforce, Atlassian) has increased but Glean differentiates via a deep enterprise "context graph" that connects to internal systems. Glean says the context graph reduces LLM token consumption and AI compute costs. The company was last valued at $7.2 billion after a $150 million Series F and counts customers including Databricks, Reddit, Pinterest and Samsung. Glean offers consumption-based and hybrid pricing; TechCrunch notes a portion of the $300M figure reflects annualized usage revenue rather than strictly recurring subscriptions.
