Hark raises $700M Series A for its secretive “universal” AI interface

Hark, an AI startup founded by Brett Adcock (also behind Figure.AI and Archer), has raised $700M in a Series A round valuing it at $6 billion. The company is building a 'universal' agentic AI personal assistant with both software models and dedicated hardware, though it has revealed very few details about the actual product. Hark plans to release multi-modal models this summer, followed by purpose-built hardware devices. The round was led by Parkway Venture Capital with participation from AMD Ventures, Intel Capital, Qualcomm Ventures, and others. The company currently has 70 employees and runs a data center with Nvidia B200 GPUs. A former Apple product executive leads design, positioning Hark as focused on AI for everyday consumers rather than developers.
