Democratizing AI Infrastructure:
Announcing our Series A
June 5, 2025
We’re thrilled to announce that we’ve raised $20 million in Series A funding. This milestone is a testament to the hard work of our team, the trust of our customers, and the urgent need for a new approach to implementing artificial intelligence within organizations. Thread AI operates with a simple, yet powerful conviction: realizing the promise of AI requires better tools.
The Challenge: AI's Promise, Mismatched Tools
AI is dominating the conversation today, and rightly so. Yet, for many enterprises, leveraging its promise is full of obstacles. Looking at the market, many AI tools are built for a narrow segment of engineering profiles or specialized industries, lacking empathy for how most businesses actually operate. Companies face a frustrating dilemma: settle for rigid, pre-built AI applications that force them to fit their business logic into a predefined box, or invest heavily in talent, infrastructure, and resources to build custom AI workflows from scratch.
As we often say, you shouldn’t have to blow up your whole tech stack to take advantage of the promise of AI. Innovation, especially with something as transformative as AI, should be incremental and accessible.
Thread AI's Approach: Composable, Thoughtful, and Built for Evolution
This is where Thread AI and our core platform, Lemma, come in. Lemma is designed to democratize AI infrastructure. It’s a composable platform that allows enterprises to design, deploy, and scale AI-powered workflows by connecting AI models, data sources, and business logic into adaptable, end-to-end processes aligned with their specific needs.
Unlike traditional automation tools that often just mirror existing human workflows or code-based workflow engines that demand massive infrastructure investments, Lemma empowers enterprises to rapidly prototype and deploy event-driven, distributed AI workflows and agents. It supports unlimited AI models, APIs, and applications, all within a single platform built with enterprise-grade security. This means faster deployment, reduced operational burden, simplified infrastructure, and maintained governance, observability, and seamless AI model upgrades.
Our approach is different because:
1
We meet you where you are: We understand that many organizations, especially established enterprises, have legacy systems. We don’t shy away from these hard systems and problems. In fact, we believe cutting-edge technologies can learn a lot from the robustness and security of these proven architectures. Our goal is to bring the latest and greatest AI capabilities to these environments.
2
AI is part of a workflow, not the workflow: The bottleneck in AI adoption has shifted. It’s no longer just about building a model; it's about effectively imbuing AI into existing and new processes. We’re focused on making it incredibly easy for enterprises to embed AI, including sophisticated "agent patterns" that give systems more intelligent autonomy.
3
Collaboration and evolution are key: Models change, business needs shift, and the AI landscape evolves daily. Our platform is collaborative at its core and built for this constant evolution, allowing you to mix and match the best of everything without sacrificing security.
Funding the Future: Growth and Responsibility
We’ve received incredible signals and feedback from our customers, demonstrating Lemma's ability to deliver value in complex and mission critical industries. Now, it’s time to scale. Our Series A will fuel our ability to double down on our commercial team, allowing us to continue to hire the best talent, and enable us to execute on our ambitious roadmap.
We also recognize the alarming themes surrounding AI potentially displacing workers. As technologists in this space, we believe we have an obligation; if AI is going to change the way we work, we must use this opportunity to elevate human capabilities and bring powerful tools closer to knowledge workers. This requires intentionality, humility, and a commitment to working across the public and private sectors. In an age where AI can generate content so easily, focusing on what is human, what is true, what is verifiable is more important than ever. Trust, reliability, and observability in your software, alongside meaningful partnerships, are paramount.
Join Us on the Journey
If you’re an enterprise looking to harness the power of AI, we know it’s hard to filter through the noise. You want to see the promise of AI delivered, and you need a tool that allows your innovation to be incremental yet powerful.
Thread AI is here to help you do just that.
Thank you to our incredible team, our visionary customers, and our new and existing investors. The journey to make AI useful, thoughtful, and accessible to all is just beginning.
