US-based AI transformation company Ciridae has secured $20 million in seed funding in a round led by Accel, alongside participation from Andreessen Horowitz, General Catalyst, Sunflower Capital, and Backcountry Ventures.
Founded in 2025 by Jack Soslow and Jack Weissenberger in San Francisco, Ciridae combines experience from some of the technology sector’s biggest companies. Soslow previously worked as a partner at Andreessen Horowitz and as a data scientist at Meta, while Weissenberger held engineering leadership roles at Salesforce before serving as Head of ML at Teneyx. The founders started Ciridae to help mid-market businesses replace manual workflows and fragmented systems with integrated operational software.
“We built Ciridae to solve one of the quieter failures of the AI boom: the companies that stand to benefit most from AI have no way of actually adopting it,” says Soslow. “We believe the biggest AI opportunity is not adding another layer of enterprise software, but building the operating infrastructure for the businesses the industry has largely passed by.”
Ciridae develops software systems for industries including logistics, healthcare, construction, industrial distribution, restoration, and home services. Instead of offering standalone automation products, the company works directly with customers to rebuild workflows covering scheduling, procurement, invoicing, claims management, and financial operations. Ciridae transforms core processes as purpose-built AI software, implementing in as little as two weeks vs. the typical 18 months.
Ciridae says it is already working with private equity firms representing more than $1.3 trillion in assets under management. Within months of launching commercially, the company reached a high seven-figure revenue run rate while remaining cash-flow positive.
The company operates in a competitive enterprise transformation market alongside firms such as Palantir Technologies, ServiceNow, and UiPath, as well as consulting firms and workflow automation startups. While many competitors focus on broad enterprise software deployments, Ciridae is targeting mid-market businesses with systems designed around specific operational processes.
Going forward, Ciridae plans to deepen its presence across private equity-backed businesses and expand development of its Ciridae AI Index, a benchmarking platform that evaluates operational transformation across firms and portfolio companies.
“The old playbook of financial engineering without operational transformation is breaking. AI is the new lever,” says Christine Esserman, partner at Accel. “Ciridae combines world-class AI talent with operators who can actually implement change, delivering production systems in days. That’s why they’re already becoming the partner of choice for some of the most sophisticated companies.”
“Ciridae challenged us to elevate our thinking. They built a transformative AI operating system that powers and connects every core part of our business,” said Bryan Knodel, CFO of Knight Commercial.
