Ciridae Raises $20M in Seed Funding Led by Accel 

The company plans to use the funding to grow its engineering team, expand operations, and support further product development.

Global spending on AI is expected to reach $2.5 trillion in 2026, but fewer than 5% of AI pilot projects successfully move into full production. The challenge is especially difficult for mid-sized companies such as restoration businesses, logistics providers, and industrial service firms, which often rely on outdated systems, manual work, and employee knowledge without having dedicated AI teams or the resources to build them.

Ciridae is developing an AI operating system for mid-sized businesses. The company works closely with customers to turn their core business processes into AI-powered software for daily operations. Ciridae says its systems can be implemented in as little as two weeks, compared with the typical 18-month process. The company is already working with customers, including private equity firms that manage more than $1.3 trillion in assets.

Ciridae is seeing growing demand from businesses that want to move from testing AI to fully using it in daily operations, especially in industries where productivity and efficient execution are critical. Unlike general AI tools, Ciridae builds customized AI systems tailored to how each business actually operates, helping deliver stronger operational results.

Ciridae is initially focused on private equity-backed businesses across home services, industrial distribution, healthcare, and construction, where improving operations is a business necessity. The company recently launched the Ciridae AI Index, which measures how private equity firms and companies are adopting AI and identifies related risks and opportunities.

Ciridae has grown quickly since hiring it's first employee in February 2025. Within six month's of starting sales, the company reached high seven figure annualized revenue while remaining cash flow positive.

“We built Ciridae to solve one of the quieter failures of the AI boom: the companies that stand to benefit most from AI have no way of actually adopting it,” said Jack Soslow, CEO and Co-Founder of Ciridae. “We believe the biggest AI opportunity is not adding another layer of enterprise software, but building the operating infrastructure for the businesses the industry has largely passed by.”

“The old playbook of financial engineering without operational transformation is breaking. AI is the new lever,” said Christine Esserman, Partner at Accel. “Ciridae combines world class AI talent with operators who can actually implement change, delivering production systems in days. That’s why they are already becoming the partner of choice for some of the most sophisticated companies.”

"Ciridae challenged us to elevate our thinking. They built a transformative AI operating system that powers and connects every core part of our business," said Bryan Knodel, CFO of Knight Commercial.
