Distyl AI Raises $175M, Valued at $1.8B to Advance Enterprise AI Integration

Distyl AI, a startup founded by former Palantir engineers Arjun Prakash and Derek Ho, has raised $175 million in a Series B funding round, bringing its valuation to $1.8 billion. The company specializes in embedding AI directly into core business operations for Fortune 500 companies across industries such as healthcare, telecommunications, insurance, manufacturing, and financial services, delivering rapid and measurable outcomes within weeks rather than years. Its proprietary platform, Distillery, uses AI agents tailored to each client to automate workflows and solve complex problems, resulting in significant operational improvements like an 80% faster root cause resolution for a hardware manufacturer and $23 million annual savings for a healthcare provider. Distyl’s approach focuses on moving beyond pilot projects to scalable AI adoption that transforms traditional siloed enterprise structures into more integrated and flexible models. The startup has gained traction by partnering with major enterprises like T-Mobile and collaborating with OpenAI to link advanced AI models to real-world applications. The fresh funding will support Distyl's expansion and further development of its AI consulting platform to help companies become AI-native and competitive in the evolving business landscape.
