Y Combinator-backed AI startup Crux has raised $2.6 million in seed funding round led by Emergent Ventures, with participation from Y Combinator and Neon Fund, according to ETtech report.
The round also saw participation from early backers like First Cheque and other investors.
Crux is backed by industry veterans in product & technology like Tej Redkar (CPTO – SumoLogic), Karthik Ramamoorthy (SVP, Products and GM – Zuora), Aayush Phumbra (cofounder – Chegg), Krishna Mehra (Director of Engineering – Meta) among others.
Founded in 2022 by Himank Jain, Atharva Padhye and Prabhat Singh, the startup helps B2B SaaS teams build embedded AI copilots faster. It creates AI models that answer questions about business data in plain language along the lines of OpenAI’s ChatGPT.
“This Copilot will be fully aware of your business context, preferences, KPIs, and macro-trends and will take you from Intent to Action in seconds,” the company said.
Crux has pivoted nearly 15 times before arriving at the platform’s current form, it said in a blog post.
