The company’s strategy focuses on owning the full stack—from research to deployment—to optimize interactions for specific industries like healthcare, finance, and government.

New investors in the tender include EQT, Goldman Sachs, GIC, OTPP, Sapphire Ventures, and BDT & MSD, joining existing backers such as Andreessen Horowitz and Lightspeed.
