Press release:

US-based enterprise AI startup Twin1 AI has raised $20 million in a Seed round co-led by Bessemer Venture Partners, Tribeca Venture Partners and Saudi-based Aramco Ventures as the company emerges from stealth to scale its AI-powered digital twin platform.

The round also saw participation from EJF Ventures, Tin Alley Ventures, AGI House Ventures, Neo, F-Prime, Btech Consortium, Antiportfolio Ventures, Lakestar, Notion Capital, Insiders and other investors.

Founded in 2025 by Dr Lewis Z. Liu, Tom Cahn, Huiting Liu and Dr Jonathan Budd, Twin1 AI is developing what it describes as a coordination and trust layer for enterprise AI. Its platform creates an AI-powered digital twin for individual professionals, drawing on their work context to preserve and make their expertise accessible across an organisation.

The digital twins can draw on approved workplace information, including emails, meetings, documents and other systems. The platform integrates with tools such as Slack, Microsoft Teams, Outlook, Gmail, Google Drive and SharePoint.

Twin1 AI also incorporates privacy and governance controls that determine what information each digital twin can access and share. Its Twin Network connects individual twins to help identify relevant colleagues, retrieve permission-aware knowledge and coordinate work across an organisation.

The company has begun deploying its technology across organisations in sectors including legal services, financial services and energy.

Twin1 AI will use the new capital to expand its teams in San Mateo, California, and London, invest in its go-to-market operations and continue developing its core technology.
