Demonstrates AI agents executing complex enterprise tasks, signaling a shift in how startups operate and fundraise.
Lyzr, a Jersey City-based enterprise AI agent startup, used its own AI agent SivaClaw to run its $100M Series B fundraise at a ~$500M valuation. The agent fielded questions from 130+ investors, drafted memos, and tracked investor engagement, generating $400M in total interest.
Lyzr, a three-year-old startup based in Jersey City, New Jersey, that helps enterprises build AI agents, closed a $100 million Series B round at approximately a $500 million valuation — and used its own AI agent to run the fundraising process. The system, called SivaClaw, handled investor interactions autonomously: it fielded questions from more than 130 investors, drafted investment memos, and tracked which presentation slides investors lingered on. According to Bloomberg, Lyzr attracted $400 million in total investor interest from Silicon Valley, the Middle East, and financial-sector investors, with no founder needing to travel for traditional Sand Hill Road coffee meetings. The round served as a live demonstration of Lyzr's core product — an AI agent platform for enterprise use — while simultaneously closing the funding. The company did not disclose the names of participating investors. The fundraise highlights both the capability of modern AI agents in high-stakes business processes and the current abundance of capital flowing into AI-focused startups.
