Hark: Funding, Investors & Team (Sep 2026)
Hark is an artificial intelligence company that develops advanced, multimodal AI systems and purpose-built hardware designed to function as a unified interface between humans and machines. The company focuses on building “personal intelligence” that is proactive, adaptive, and capable of interacting with the world through speech, vision, text, and persistent memory. Hark’s technology emphasizes multimodal intelligence, real-time interaction, and highly personalized memory systems that evolve over time. Its systems are intended to function as collaborative digital partners, reducing cognitive workload and enabling more natural human-computer interaction. The company is also developing AI-native devices specifically optimized for its models, aiming to create a new computing paradigm where hardware and intelligence are tightly integrated. This approach positions Hark as a builder of end-to-end AI platforms rather than a provider of standalone software tools.
Hark has raised $700M across 2 funding rounds on record, the most recent a Series A of $700M announced in May 2026.
That round is above the $5.5M median round size for Artificial Intelligence companies tracked on FundedIQ over the last two years.

About FundedIQ's Hark Funding Data
FundedIQ tracks announced funding rounds and refreshes this profile every week. Round dates, stages and amounts are normalised to a single format, converted to US dollars, and de-duplicated: two records of the same round announced days apart are merged, and two genuinely different rounds are kept apart on the amounts they disclose. Amounts shown are the disclosed figures only — a round announced without a number is listed and excluded from the total rather than estimated.
Employee counts are reported bands, not exact headcounts. Founder and executive names carry the job title on record. Anything we do not hold for Hark is left off this page rather than filled in.
