🗞️News:
WorkFusion raises $45 million in funding
Intelligent Document Processing provider WorkFusion has announced that it has raised $45 million in funding led by growth-stage B2B investor Georgian, Serengeti Asset Management, and other investors from its community. With this new funding, WorkFusion intends to support its efforts to provide AI agents that optimize operational efficiency in the areas anti-money laundering (AML), sanctions, Know Your Customer (KYC) and fraud compliance. Adam Famularo, CEO of WorkFusion, commented: “In 2022, we made a hard pivot to restructure the company around our AI Agents for financial crime compliance. We were one of the first technology companies to focus on creating AI Agents that did a specific job role within a vertical industry. Today our pre-built AI Agents are saving customers about 40,000 hours a day of manual work. The type of work that humans are incapable of doing tirelessly, at scale, and with extremely high quality. And this is still just the beginning. We are now positioned for considerable growth as the market is ready for widespread adoption. We appreciate the continued confidence and support of our existing investor base and welcome our new investors.” In addition to Georgian and Serengeti Asset Management, other investors in this financing round include: Nokia Growth Partners III, L.P.; Teralys Capital; Hawk Equity; Chubb INA Holdings; Declaration Partners; CEO Adam Famularo and other members of leadership team; SVB Innovation Credit Fund VIII, L.P.; Konrad Investments LLC; and George John.
