Artian Raises $8M to Break the Old Rules of Enterprise Automation with Multi-Agent AI
New York, NY — Artian, the AI platform built to break through the limits of legacy automation, has closed $8 million in funding, including a $6 million Seed round led by Work-Bench, with support from Foxe Capital / Anthemis, and $2 million from early investors. Instead of just layering AI on top of existing workflows, Artian embeds AI agents at the core of how enterprises operate and scale. Their initial focus is on the world of financial services, a sector where complexity, regulation, and outdated systems make it ripe for massive transformation.
Artian’s platform replaces static workflows with AI agents that learn, adapt, and execute at scale. With Artian’s Agentic Agent Builder, enterprise teams can generate reliable agents using a highly productive AI-driven user experience — accelerating automation from idea to execution. From adaptive execution engines and multi-agent collaboration to finance-ready skills and an AI-native console, Artian gives enterprises everything they need to move faster and do more with agentic AI.
Designed with security, governance, and scalability at its core, Artian’s solutions help large institutions automate complex, end-to-end processes such as pre-trade requests in capital markets sales, break reconciliation in trading operations, relationship management in wealth and treasury advisory services, and incident management in enterprise operations. Artian is already working with several top US and global financial services companies.
The Artian team brings deep expertise in machine learning and enterprise operations, with a track record that spans global institutions such as JPMorgan Chase, Google, Morgan Stanley, and Knight Capital. Artian’s founders — Prashant Reddy and Keith Andrew — each have over 25 years of experience operating at the intersection of AI, financial markets, and enterprise technology. Together, they have led the design and deployment of mission-critical AI systems in some of the world’s most complex and high-stakes environments, bridging cutting-edge research with real-world enterprise impact.
"We tackle the challenging opportunities in what is perhaps the most demanding industry vertical – financial services. We do this not because we are oblivious to the difficulties involved, but because Artian possesses the key to unlock — at this intersection — some of the largest economic impact that modern AI can deliver," said Prashant Reddy, Co-founder and CEO of Artian.
"The Artian founding team has some of the deepest founder-market fit we’ve seen. With experience spanning Wall Street and Silicon Valley, they’ve lived both the complexity of financial systems and the cutting edge of AI innovation. We’re proud to back Artian as they help financial institutions unlock the full power of agentic AI — securely, scalably, and with domain expertise at the core," said Jonathan Lehr, General Partner at Work-Bench.
"Agentic AI has incredibly obvious applications in financial services, but few teams are capable of orchestrating the business ontology to run the full and complex processes that will drive maximum value for banks. That’s where Artian shines," added Ruth Foxe Blader, Managing Partner at Foxe Capital.
