Kognitos just pulled off the kind of move that makes enterprise software vendors sweat through their Patagonia vests.
$25 million in fresh Series B funding, led by Prosperity7 Ventures, with backers like Khosla Ventures, Wipro Ventures, Engineering Capital, Dentsu Ventures, and Alumni Ventures all showing up to the table like they know something the rest of the automation world doesn’t. And they do.
This isn’t just a funding round. This is Binny Gill, CEO, founder, and low-key automation revolutionary, doubling down on a vision that’s equal parts sci-fi and surgical precision. Gill’s bet? That the future of automation doesn’t live in a pile of fragile scripts, stitched-together bots, or hallucination-happy LLMs. It lives in English.
Kognitos’ neurosymbolic AI platform takes plain old language, your Slack messages, your inbox chaos, your “hey can you just…” workflows, and turns them into self-healing, auditable, regulation-ready automation agents. And not the kind that break when someone sneezes. We’re talking 10x faster speed-to-value, 97% less grunt work, and ROI numbers big enough to make even the stingiest CFO nod along.
If you think this sounds cute, ask Christina Jalaly at Boost Mobile what 23x ROI feels like.
This round brings Kognitos’ total funding to $51.75 million, and while the valuation hasn’t been disclosed, you don’t need a pitch deck to see where this is headed. With Fortune1000 clients like PepsiCo, Wipro, Norco Industries, and Century Supply Chain Solutions already live, and expansion planned into banking and healthcare, it’s clear this isn’t a side hustle for the mid-office. This is automation reimagined for the core.
What makes it work? The tech stack is as clean as it is deep: cloud-native, serverless on AWS, SOC2 Type II certified, compliant with HIPAA, and integrating with everything from Salesforce to Excel to Slack. The Process Refinement Engine, yes, patented, is where the magic happens, absorbing human feedback and making the bots smarter without a line of new code. It’s like giving your back office Red Bull and a PhD at the same time.
Backed by a growing team across San Jose, Charleston, and Bangalore, and led by executives like Mark Wright (VP of Sales) and Matt Strathman (VP of Engineering), Kognitos isn’t just riding the AI wave, it’s redesigning the current.
This isn’t automation for automation’s sake. This is automation that speaks your language, understands your intent, and doesn’t crack under compliance. In a world where most AI is still playing Mad Libs with your business logic, Kognitos is writing symphonies, in English.
