Larridin Secures $30M Series A to Help Enterprises Prove the Business Value of AI

Larridin, a platform that measures AI’s impact across human and agent workforces, has secured $30 million in Series A funding led by Pelion Ventures, with participation from existing investors Andreessen Horowitz and Gradient Ventures and new backers including GFT, W23, Thayer, DG Daiwa Ventures, Alumni Ventures and Cougar Capital. The round brings total funding to $47 million.

Founded in 2024, Larridin links AI adoption, productivity and spend data to the work of people and agents, showing leaders where AI delivers value. It has measured over 2 billion AI sessions and 82,000 workflows, reporting a 47% average increase in team output and a median $2.4 million in optimized AI spend within the first year. Customers include SurveyMonkey, Vertiv and Klaviyo.

CEO Russ Fradin said enterprise AI has shifted from innovation budgets to financial accountability. Jeff Kearl of Pelion Ventures said the platform ties every AI dollar to measurable outcomes, while Alex Rampell of a16z said Larridin has set the standard for enterprise AI measurement.

The company also released its Q3 2026 Engineering AI Impact Report, finding AI-assisted pull requests rose from 35% to 62% between April and September, while median wait times for first human code reviews increased by 50%.
