Rwazi, an AI-driven decision intelligence startup, has raised $12 million in Series A funding to accelerate the development of its AI copilot and simulation engine — a platform designed to replace instinct-driven decision-making with real-time, data-backed insights. The round positions Rwazi to expand its global infrastructure and deliver actionable intelligence to enterprise teams navigating rapidly shifting market landscapes.
Founded by Joseph Rutakangwa and Eric Sewankambo, Rwazi is building a next-generation intelligence system that empowers businesses to make faster, smarter, and more precise decisions. Unlike traditional AI systems that rely on scraped data or passive signals, Rwazi captures real-time consumer activity voluntarily shared at scale, delivering high-fidelity insights tailored to each business context.
“For decades, decisions have been driven by instinct. But gut calls are expensive — and in today’s market, they’re dangerous,” said Joseph Rutakangwa, Co-Founder & CEO of Rwazi. “This raise lets us put a real-time AI copilot in the hands of every decision-maker — so teams can move with total clarity.”
Key Use Cases of Rwazi’s AI Copilot:
-
Market Share Growth: Identifies emerging opportunities ahead of competitors
-
Lower Customer Acquisition Costs: Reveals what resonates with customers, where, and why
-
Improved Lifetime Value: Aligns product, pricing, and channel strategies with real-time demand signals
Rwazi’s platform is already used by Fortune 100 companies to inform decisions across marketing, product, and operations. The platform processes billions of behavioral signals across demographics and markets, continuously refining its predictions and recommendations through machine learning.
With this funding, Rwazi plans to:
-
Expand its global data infrastructure
-
Enhance simulation capabilities for dynamic forecasting
-
Improve the AI copilot’s contextual decision-making across business functions
As businesses face increasing market volatility, Rwazi offers a compelling solution to the limitations of delayed reporting and intuition-based decisions.
“The teams that win today are the ones that see early and act fast,” added Rutakangwa. “That’s exactly what Rwazi enables.”
