Pascal AI Raises $3.1 Million Seed Round to Accelerate Autonomous Investment Research Workflows

Pascal AI, an AI native infrastructure for finance, led by Vibhav Viswanathan and Mithun Madhusudan, has secured $3.1 million seed round led by Kalaari Capital with participation from Norwest, Infoedge Ventures, Antler, and leading angel investors.

The funding will accelerate Pascal AI’s product development in autonomous investment workflows, U.S. expansion, and strategic data partnerships. Already in use by over 25 financial firms, including $2 billion private equity funds and a top-three global asset manager with $1 trillion+ AUM, Pascal AI delivers secure, native data connections covering 16,000 public companies across 27 markets.

Investment teams are drowning in data but lack tools that capture their hard-earned judgment. Analysts waste hours compiling filings, transcripts, and notes, while CIOs struggle to see portfolios holistically. Existing platforms surface data but ignore the proprietary knowledge that drives conviction. Pascal AI addresses this gap by automating the full investment lifecycle, learning from a firm’s history to reason and act like an experienced investor.

Achieving this vision requires absolute trust. As AI takes on more context and responsibility, the risks of error and security breaches rise sharply. Pascal AI mitigates this with a proprietary Knowledge Graph that makes every action fully auditable and secure. With enterprise-grade security, role-based permissions, and on-premise deployment, it delivers the safeguards required for high-stakes financial decisions.

Pascal AI was founded by Vibhav Viswanathan and Mithun Madhusudan, who combine deep expertise in finance, AI, and product scaling. Viswanathan, a Chicago Booth MBA, previously led AWS Inferentia and Neuron in Silicon Valley and brings direct investment experience from Capital Group and NEA-IUVP. Madhusudan, an IIM Bangalore alumnus, led AI and product teams at Indian unicorns Apna and ShareChat, scaling products to over 100 million users.
