πŸš€ HerculesAI (ex Zero Systems) secured $26M in Series B funding!

Exciting News for the Armenian Startup Ecosystem! HerculesAI (formerly Zero Systems) secured $26 million in Series B funding! πŸŽ‰

Since 2017, they’ve been pioneers in automating professional services, and their early focus on building large language models (LLMs) has paid off massively, especially after the surge of interest in LLMs with the rise of ChatGPT in 2022.

They’ve been developing small models since 2020, running them on edge devices for compliance. Today HerculesAI’s multi-agent system is revolutionizing intelligent data extraction, transformation, and verification, ensuring accuracy by comparing data against regulations, policies, contracts, and laws.

They had 4x growth in the past year, with 30% of the top 100 US law firms and major Fortune 500 companies like Mercer, Standard & Poor’s, and State Farm as clients.

Kudos to Gevorg Karapetyan and HerculesAI for their incredible achievement! πŸŒπŸš€
