Hark, an AI startup founded by entrepreneur Brett Adcock in December 2025, announced it has raised $700 million in a Series A funding round valuing the company at $6 billion post-money [1, 2, 3]. The round was led by Parkway Venture Capital and included investments from Nvidia, AMD Ventures, Intel Capital, Salesforce Ventures, Qualcomm Ventures, ARK Invest, Brookfield, Greycroft, Prime Movers Lab, and Tamarack Global [1, 2, 3].
Adcock, who previously founded Figure AI and Archer Aviation, initially seeded the company with $100 million of his own capital [1, 3]. Hark currently employs about 70 people and operates a data center equipped with Nvidia B200 GPUs [1]. Former Apple product executive Abidur Chowdhury, involved with iPhone design, serves as the company’s director of design [1, 3].
Hark is developing agentic AI models that are personalized and multi-modal, intended to act as a universal AI interface and personal assistant [1, 3]. The company aims to set itself apart by focusing on AI interfaces and hardware designed for everyday users instead of targeting coding tools [1]. Chowdhury said, "I haven’t seen anything that feels like something that will really help like the normal person... People are really building things to help people make software... but we haven’t really seen that for the normal person yet." He added, "With this focus, with this great team that we have, and this round that we’ve raised, I think we can make something really special in this space" [1].
Adcock said, "We're building the AI that everyone deserves, but no one has built yet — one that actually knows you, speaks your language, is highly personalized, and lives on hardware made for you. This funding helps us put that in people's hands quickly and at scale" [3].
Hark plans to release its first multi-modal AI models this summer to power its personal AI platform, with accompanying hardware devices expected to follow [1, 3].
