Hark

Overview

Hark is Brett Adcock’s (Figure, Archer) new AI lab building a personal-assistant model-plus-hardware stack. In May 2026 it closed a $700M Series A at a $6B post-money valuation led by Parkway Venture Capital, with participation from NVIDIA Ventures, AMD Ventures, ARK, Salesforce Ventures, Qualcomm, Intel Capital, Brookfield, and Greycroft.

Timeline

• 2026-05-23-AI-Digest — Closes a $700M Series A at $6B post-money. The size at Series A is the obvious headline; the more interesting read is the strategic-investor stack — having both NVIDIA and AMD on the cap table is unusual, and the Salesforce Ventures + Qualcomm + Intel combination signals positioning for both supply-side (compute) and distribution-side (enterprise + edge) optionality before a model has shipped. Worth tracking against OpenAI’s hardware ambitions and Google’s Gemini-on-glass effort; the cap-table shape is the differentiator at this stage.

Key Developments

1. $700M Series A at $6B Post-Money (May 2026): Parkway Venture Capital led with strategic-investor participation from NVIDIA Ventures, AMD Ventures, ARK, Salesforce Ventures, Qualcomm, Intel Capital, Brookfield, and Greycroft. Pre-shipping-model raise of this size is uncommon outside the frontier-lab cohort.

2. Cap-Table Cross-Cut: Simultaneous NVIDIA + AMD investment plus the Salesforce/Qualcomm/Intel triad reads as deliberate optionality on both compute supply and enterprise/edge distribution.
