Enterprise AI startup AskTuring.ai announced the launch of its Series A financing round, targeting between $10 million and $15 million to support accelerated product development and customer expansion. The company is building on an oversubscribed seed round and growing demand from a diversified customer base.
AskTuring.ai provides a private, secure large-language model (LLM) platform tailored for small- and medium-sized businesses. The platform allows organizations to work confidentially with their own data, ensuring that proprietary content remains controlled and is not used for external model training.
The AskTuring.ai platform offers model-agnostic capabilities, enabling Retrieval-Augmented Generation (RAG) while maintaining compliance, security (SOC 2 certified), and enterprise-grade privacy protections.
As part of its growth strategy, the company appointed Guy Reams as Co-Chief Executive Officer, joining co-founder and Co-CEO Neil Senturia. Reams brings more than a decade of experience delivering AI enterprise solutions to Fortune 500 clients, leading go-to-market strategies, integrating acquisitions, and turning around underperforming organizations. At AskTuring.ai, Reams will define corporate vision and strategy and drive rapid product iteration and customer adoption.
In addition to the CEO appointment, AskTuring.ai strengthened its executive leadership by adding:
- Ranjan Raha as Vice President of Technical Program Management — with prior experience at Qualcomm, managing full-lifecycle software development, cloud migration and AI initiatives.
- Seb O’Cuilleanain as Chief Revenue Officer — a veteran of enterprise AI solutions, cyber security, application performance monitoring and DevOps; tasked with accelerating enterprise sales and partner/VAR relationships.
- Jignesh Parikh as Chief Product Officer — previously Director of IT at AdiSphere and consultant with Intuit and Qualcomm, now overseeing product development timeline and future feature releases at AskTuring.ai.
AskTuring.ai initially launched with a $3 million seed funding round in Q3 2024, which was oversubscribed, and already serves customers across sectors, including law firms, wealth-management firms, manufacturers, and professional sports teams. The new funding round is intended to back further platform development, strengthen go-to-market execution, and expand the company’s enterprise customer footprint.
