Hark, a new AI lab building advanced personalized intelligence, announced it has raised over $700 million in Series A funding at a $6 billion post-money valuation. The round was oversubscribed and led by Parkway Venture Capital, with participation from NVIDIA, Align Ventures, AMD Ventures, ARK Invest, Brookfield, Greycroft, Intel Capital, Prime Movers Lab, Qualcomm Ventures, Salesforce Ventures, and Tamarack Global.
The funding will accelerate Hark’s development of advanced personalized intelligence and next-generation hardware designed to serve as a universal interface between humans and machines.
The Problem Hark is Solving
Today’s AI largely operates through chat interfaces and decades-old consumer devices, with no persistent memory of who you are, and no interface hardware designed for intelligent interaction. Hark is building what comes next: agentic systems designed to interact naturally with people and the real world.
Rather than focusing on a single layer of the AI stack, Hark is building foundation models, software systems, native hardware, and new interfaces together from the start a vertically integrated approach the company believes is essential to creating a seamless end-to-end personal intelligence product that can anticipate needs, reduce cognitive workload, and operate more like a collaborative partner than traditional software.

“We’re building the AI that everyone deserves but no one has built yet one that actually knows you, speaks your language, is highly personalized, and lives on hardware made for you,” said Brett Adcock, Founder & CEO of Hark. “This funding helps us put that in people’s hands quickly and at scale.”
The company plans to first roll out its AI models later this summer, giving users early access to its personal AI platform. Following this, Hark will introduce AI-native hardware devices designed specifically for these systems, creating a seamless experience where models, software, and hardware work together.
