Centrical Raises $39M to Build AI-Powered Performance Intelligence for the Frontline

Centrical has closed a $39 million Series D round led by Leeds Illuminate and Kingfisher Investment, with participation from existing backer JVP. The funding will accelerate global expansion of the company’s AI-driven platform, which aims to close the gap between workforce data and on-the-ground performance.

Founder and CEO Gal Rimon said the platform acts as an operating system for frontline teams, using agentic AI to guide employees, surface coaching opportunities for managers, and trigger targeted interventions autonomously — moving enterprises beyond static dashboards toward continuous, self-reinforcing performance management.

Investors highlighted Centrical’s traction inside large enterprises including Deutsche Telekom, IHG Hotels, and two top-five US banks. Yariv Robinson of Kingfisher noted the company’s rare combination of measurable ROI and operational profitability, while Erel Margalit of JVP described Centrical as defining an entirely new category at a moment when enterprises are rethinking how AI and human workforces can be managed together.
