Scaled Cognition Raises $100 Million Series A

Per a GlobeNewswire press release, Scaled Cognition raised $100 million in a Series A round led by Khosla Ventures on June 25, 2026. The press release and coverage by The Next Web and FinSMEs say the startup is commercializing a flagship model called APT (Agentic Pretrained Transformer) and a platform for enterprise deployments that includes agent tooling, simulation and monitoring frameworks. The Wall Street Journal reports the round values the company at about $750 million and includes participation from Genesys, with coverage also by The Next Web. "We spent years trying to apply AI to business applications and found it was essentially impossible to make these systems reliable," said Dan Roth, CEO, in the GlobeNewswire release. Industry context: Companies chasing reliability claim architectural changes rather than wrappers are increasingly favored in regulated verticals.
