Samaya AI, a specialist AI platform focused on financial services, has announced a $43.5m funding round.
The funding round was led by NEA (New Enterprise Associates), with backing from prominent figures in both the technology and financial industries. Investors included former Google CEO Eric Schmidt, AI pioneer Yann LeCun, Two Sigma co-founder David Siegel, and Sixth Street vice chair Marty Chavez.
Samaya AI is developing a suite of AI agents designed to handle complex tasks across financial workflows. Its technology enables the automation of processes such as investment research, client advisory, and deal diligence. The platform is capable of generating investment reports across sectors, building presentations using proprietary data, and answering highly technical questions using a broad base of real-time information, all grounded with verifiable evidence.
With the latest capital injection, Samaya plans to ramp up product development and broaden its market reach. It also unveiled its newest AI agent, Causal World Models, which was previously available only in research preview. This tool allows the platform to model macroeconomic environments and generate sophisticated, multi-stage reasoning and economic forecasts — for example, projecting the impact of tariffs on GDP through interactive, evidence-backed diagrams.
The company claims rapid growth, reporting 100% month-on-month usage increases and a client list that includes major financial institutions such as Morgan Stanley.
Samaya AI founder and CEO Maithra Raghu said, “With Samaya, customers can create a personalized team of AI knowledge agents that can 1000x the output of a single analyst. Our users access agentic experiences that reliably deliver insights with expert level quality and no hallucinations. Samaya’s proprietary AI is designed for factuality over fluency and trained for financial expertise over generic ‘internet user’ responses.”
Tiffany Luck, partner at NEA, added, “Samaya is revolutionizing decision making for financial institutions with an AI platform that transforms how work gets done and supercharges research and analysis. We are thrilled to partner with Samaya as they build the leading AI for financial services, and we believe that Samaya has the potential to radically disrupt how all companies approach knowledge work.”
Eric Schmidt said, “Samaya AI is reinventing how financial experts interact with information. Their AI agents reason through massive volumes of real-time data to deliver high-precision insights, streamlining workflows like synthesizing market-wide trends, identifying comps for deal due diligence, and generating detailed sector reports in ways generic AI assistants can’t.”
Katy Huberty, global director of research at Morgan Stanley, said, “We’re excited to partner with Samaya across all divisions of our Institutional Securities Group, and leverage Samaya’s cutting-edge AI to power the creation of actionable insights from both our extensive Research library as well as external sources, enhancing our ability to provide world class analysis to our clients.”
No previous funding rounds were disclosed in the announcement.
