PRESS RELEASE — Pascal AI Labs, a company building a vertical platform for agentic investment research workflows, announced it has raised a $3.1 million seed round led by Kalaari Capital with participation from Norwest, Infoedge Ventures, Antler and leading angel investors.
The funding will be used to accelerate product development of its autonomous investment workflows, expansion into the U.S. and strategic data partnerships. Pascal AI is already deployed by more than 25 financial firms across the U.S. and APAC, including $2 billion private equity funds and a top-three global asset manager with over $1 trillion in assets under management. With secure, native connectors out of the box, Pascal AI provides data on more than 16,000 public companies across 27 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 and 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”.
Investment teams are overloaded with data yet lack tools that capture their accumulated judgment. Analysts spend hours piecing together filings, transcripts and internal notes, while CIOs struggle to get a holistic, forward-looking view of portfolios. Existing platforms surface information but fail to think like the investor, ignoring years of proprietary knowledge that shape conviction.
Pascal AI changes this by automating the entire investment lifecycle. By learning from a firm’s proprietary history, Pascal AI doesn’t just retrieve, it reasons and acts like an experienced investor.
Built for Trust: Secure, Transparent, Auditable
Achieving this vision requires a foundation of absolute trust. As AI is given more context and responsibility, the risk of error and security breaches grows exponentially. Pascal AI is built on a proprietary Knowledge Graph that ensures every action is 100% auditable and secure. The platform supports enterprise-grade security, role-based permissions and on-premise deployment, providing the comprehensive solution necessary for high-stakes financial decisions.
“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. What stood out to us was the clarity and conviction with which Vibhav and Mithun are reimagining how investors and CIOs make decisions. With strong early traction from marquee global clients, the team has already validated the depth of the problem and the strength of their solution. We are excited to partner with them on this mission,” said Kalaari Capital Partner Sampath P.
The company was founded by Vibhav Viswanathan and Mithun Madhusudan, who bring deep expertise in finance, AI and product scaling. A Chicago Booth MBA, Viswanathan previously led AWS Inferentia and Neuron in Silicon Valley and has direct investment experience from his time at Capital Group and NEA-IUVP. Madhusudan is an IIM Bangalore alumnus who led AI and product teams at Indian tech unicorns Apna and ShareChat, scaling AI products to over 100 million users.
