Tavily Inc., a startup providing a web access layer for artificial intelligence agents, announced today that it has raised $25 million in funding, including $20 million in a Series A round.
The company plans to double its headcount, expand its go-to-market efforts, deepen partnerships, and enhance its real-time search infrastructure for AI agents.
Founded in 2024, Tavily is building search infrastructure for AI agents to access and interact with real-time web and enterprise data. It has as its mission to solve the challenges of agentic search by enabling large language models and AI agents to retrieve accurate, current and contextually relevant information from both public and private sources.
Tavily’s platform acts as an interface between AI systems and the web, allowing developers to easily integrate powerful search capabilities into their applications. It does so through the provision of a developer-friendly application programming interface that combines high-performance search, intelligent crawling and structured web page extraction. That allows AI agents to go beyond static, pretrained knowledge by being able to access up-to-date content from the internet or organizational databases.
The company’s offering differs from traditional search APIs by being designed specifically for AI use cases, injecting clean, structured data directly into the context windows of large language models. The result drastically reduces the likelihood of hallucinations and outdated answers, key hurdles in production-grade AI systems.
While relatively young, Tavily has already found success with a growing customer base that includes AI companies and enterprises, including Fortune 500 firms and fast-growing startups. Notable customers include Cohere Inc., MongoDB Inc., Groq Inc., IBM Corp., Monday.com Ltd., LangChain Inc. and Amazon Web Services Inc.
“We’re on a mission to onboard the next billion AI agents to the web,” said Chief Executive Rotem Weiss. “Building agentic web infrastructure is uniquely challenging, especially when these agents serve mission-critical applications. That’s why we built an architecture that generates unique economies of scale: a system that becomes smarter and faster the more it is utilized.”
The Series A round was led by Insight Partners LP and Alpha Wave Global Management Ltd.
“Tavily is building one of the leading web infrastructures for enterprises to have a trusted, auditable gateway for their agentic systems,” said George Mathew, managing director at Insight Partners. “It’s been impressive to see how quickly Tavily has become essential to building compound AI systems at scale.”
