Pascal AI Labs has raised $3.1 million in seed funding in a round led by Kalaari Capital, with participation from Norwest, InfoEdge Ventures, Antler, and a group of prominent angel investors. The startup, founded by Vibhav Viswanathan and Mithun Madhusudan, is developing a vertical platform for agentic investment research workflows. Already, the platform is in use by more than 25 financial institutions across the U.S. and Asia-Pacific, including private equity firms managing over $2 billion in assets and one of the world’s top three asset managers with more than $1 trillion in assets under management.
“The future of investment management is autonomous investment research. Pascal AI is systematically automating complex investment workflows with the long-term vision of creating a fully autonomous investment research company,” said Vibhav Viswanathan, co-founder and CEO of Pascal AI. “This funding allows us to accelerate that journey, moving from workflow automation to true autonomy, and giving analysts instant, auditable insights and CIOs a continuously updated view of exposures and performance.”
Kalaari Capital, which led the round, emphasized Pascal AI’s role in shaping the future of finance. “At Kalaari, we believe the next decade will see a decisive shift toward autonomous research platforms that can scale human judgment with machine intelligence. Pascal AI is at the forefront of this transformation—building secure, auditable, and truly agentic workflows that do not just process information but reason like an investor. What stood out to us was the clarity and conviction with which Vibhav and Mithun are reimagining how investors and CIOs make decisions,” said Sampath P, Partner at Kalaari Capital.
The company’s platform is built on a proprietary Knowledge Graph that makes every action traceable and secure, a critical requirement for high-stakes financial decisions. With features like enterprise-grade security, role-based permissions, and on-premise deployment, Pascal AI ensures trust and compliance while delivering advanced capabilities. By tackling information overload and enabling continuous, autonomous research, the platform empowers investment teams to make faster, more informed decisions.
With fresh capital and strong investor backing, Pascal AI is poised to scale its agentic workflows and accelerate its mission of redefining investment research for the AI-native era.
