Arrakis has raised $30 million in Series A funding to expand its platform for deploying artificial intelligence agents across industrial operations. Blossom Capital led the round, with participation from existing investor Accel. The financing brings Arrakis’ total funding to approximately $38 million. Accel previously led the company’s $7.5 million seed round. Individual investors include Datadog Founder and CEO Olivier Pomel, OpenAI Head of Business Products Olivier Godement and Cambridge Aerospace Founder Junaid Hussein.
Arrakis emerged from stealth with a platform designed to help industrial companies integrate AI agents into mission-critical operational workflows. Its customers operate across aerospace, energy, logistics, manufacturing, construction and telecommunications.
The company was founded in January 2026 by CEO Rafael Quintanilla, Haroun Beltaifa, Romain Fouilland and Mikhail Galkov. The team includes former employees of Palantir, Delivery Hero, Revolut, Datadog and ASML.
Many industrial businesses continue to rely on aging software, disconnected data systems and manual processes. Arrakis integrates AI agents into those existing technology environments rather than requiring customers to complete lengthy system replacements.
The company combines forward-deployed AI engineers with a model-agnostic enterprise platform and applied research focused on industrial operations. Its approach allows businesses to select different AI models for specific tasks rather than depending on one provider.
Customers retain ownership of their data and intellectual property. Arrakis said it does not use customer information to train third-party models.
The company also ties a significant portion of its fees to customer outcomes. This commercial model is intended to align Arrakis’ compensation with measurable operational improvements.
Arrakis said customers have deployed agents within weeks and achieved results including a 90% reduction in procurement cycle times. The platform has also provided real-time visibility into financial and operational processes previously handled manually.
Within six months of launching, Arrakis secured customers that include publicly traded companies in the energy, logistics and industrial sectors. The company has also signed its first customer in the United States.
Arrakis plans to use the Series A funding to triple its workforce, strengthen its platform and security capabilities, and expand across Europe, the United States and the Middle East. It currently operates from London and Paris.
KEY QUOTES:
“The West is under growing pressure to reindustrialise, but that renaissance won’t be powered by net new companies alone. It requires equipping our industrial champions with the tools to harness their data, navigate the AI transition and compete on a global stage.”
“Most AI investment to date has targeted the 30% of workers behind a desk. The real ROI lies in the 70% running industrial operations. We’re building from Europe for the world, with the ambition to build the Operating System our industrial champions need to win.”
Rafael Quintanilla, Co-Founder and CEO of Arrakis
“Rafael and the Arrakis team have an exceptional combination of technical depth, operational expertise and commercial ambition.”
“While many companies are focused on AI applications at the edge of the enterprise, Arrakis is tackling some of the most complex operational challenges facing large industrial organisations. Their early traction demonstrates both the scale of the opportunity and the demand for solutions that deliver measurable outcomes.”
Ophelia Brown, Managing Partner at Blossom Capital
“Rafael’s vision of how AI will transform the physical economy and his deep understanding of the challenges industrial companies face means he and the team are building a transformative company.”
