Gen-AI SaaS startup Alchemyst AI raises $300,000 in a pre-Seed funding round

Gen-AI SaaS startup Alchemyst AI has raised $300,000 in a pre-seed funding round led by Inflection Point Ventures, a Gurugram-based angel investment firm.

The round also saw participation from 100Unicorns and Early Seed Ventures.

The startup will use the funds to enhance GPU (graphics processing unit) and technology infrastructure, support team development, scale operations, and drive growth.

What does Alchemyst AI do?

Founded in 2023 by Uttaran Nayak and Anuran Roy, Alchemyst AI is disrupting AI automation and enterprise productivity, developing digital employees that work together to create intelligent functional components for mid-sized to large enterprises.

"At Alchemyst AI, we are pioneering the development of fully autonomous gen-AI digital employees which can interact with each other & perform highly intelligent functional components across enterprise teams," said Nayak.

The startup features adaptive and continual learning, enabling its digital employees, or "Alchemysts," to autonomously gather context based on the data provided by users, who control this input to influence performance.

"We are crafting the future of workforce and spearheading the next industrial revolution. These gen-AI digital employees democratize the entire workforce without human intervention at any stage. Over the past 12 months, we have had a unique vantage point as we have watched the bot/agent/AI digital employee landscape evolve and transform," Nayak said.

He also said that they observed that most of the application layer companies are dependent on generic foundational models to carry out automation in the workforce.

"These dependencies often slow down a company's scalability and make it defenseless and vulnerable. Alchemyst AI was born to solve these challenges, with a strong technological understanding & non-dependency on any generic LLM models," he added.

Expanding presence globally

Alchemyst AI said it is about to expand its presence across major global markets, including India, the USA, MENA (Middle East), and Southeast Asia, even as the global market for Generative AI is expected to grow substantially to $330 billion by 2030.

The current market size is estimated at $3 billion in India and $37 billion globally.
