The Client

Harmonic is delighted to be supporting one of the fastest growing AI companies globally. The business is building a next-generation platform that enables large enterprises to rapidly adopt AI, modernize legacy systems, and significantly accelerate software development cycles.

With a dual-product offering, the platform is used both at the enterprise level to drive large-scale transformation initiatives and by product and engineering teams to improve speed, efficiency, and overall output in building and deploying new applications.

Having launched recently with a SaaS-based model, the company has already achieved significant early traction, scaling past $40m ARR within their first year and raising a ~$150m Series A. The business is now entering a phase of hypergrowth, with ambitious targets and a clear path toward becoming a category-defining platform as it works toward an eventual IPO.
