Pascal AI Labs, a fast-growing startup building a vertical platform for agentic investment research workflows, has raised $3.1 million in seed funding. The round was led by Kalaari Capital, with participation from Norwest, Infoedge Ventures, Antler, and several leading angel investors.
The fresh capital will be used to accelerate product development, expand operations in the U.S., and forge strategic data partnerships.
Powering the Future of Autonomous Investment Research
Pascal AI Labs is already deployed by 25+ financial firms across the U.S. and APAC, including a $2 billion private equity fund and a top-three global asset manager with more than $1 trillion in assets under management (AUM).
Its platform comes with secure, native connectors and provides data coverage on 16,000+ public companies across 27 global markets.
“The future of investment management is autonomous investment research. Pascal AI is systematically automating complex investment workflows with the long-term vision of creating a fully autonomous investment research company,” said Vibhav Viswanathan, Co-Founder & CEO of Pascal AI. “This funding allows us to accelerate that journey, moving from workflow automation to true autonomy, and giving analysts instant, auditable insights and CIOs a continuously updated view of exposures and performance.”
Solving Investment Teams’ Data Overload
Today’s investment teams face an information overload, with analysts spending hours piecing together filings, earnings transcripts, and internal notes. CIOs, meanwhile, struggle to gain a holistic, forward-looking portfolio view.
Unlike existing platforms that only surface raw information, Pascal AI learns from a firm’s proprietary history, reasons like an investor, and automates the entire investment lifecycle—from research to decision-making.
Built for Trust, Transparency & Security
Pascal AI Labs emphasizes enterprise-grade security and transparency. Its proprietary Knowledge Graph ensures that every action is 100% auditable and secure. The platform also supports role-based permissions and on-premise deployment, making it suitable for high-stakes financial decision-making.
Investor Confidence in Pascal AI’s Vision
Sampath P., Partner at Kalaari Capital, highlighted the company’s disruptive potential:
“At Kalaari, we believe the next decade will see a decisive shift toward autonomous research platforms that can scale human judgment with machine intelligence. Pascal AI is at the forefront of this transformation—building secure, auditable, and truly agentic workflows that don’t just process information, but reason like an investor. With strong early traction from marquee global clients, the team has already validated the depth of the problem and the strength of their solution.”
