AI company Tavily, which has built a search layer for AI agents, has raised $20 million in a Series A funding round.
The round was led by Insight Partners and Alpha Wave Global, which also led Tavily’s earlier round. With this, Tavily’s total funding has reached $25 million.
Tavily’s platform helps AI agents access real-time web data through one simple search layer. Since launching, it has quickly grown to over a million downloads each month. The company says it’s already working with top Fortune 500 companies and fast-growing tech firms like Cohere and Groq.
Tavily was founded by Rotem Weiss (CEO), Assaf Elovic, and Yuval Rozio (in his capacity as Managing Director at Alpha Wave Global, which incubated the company 12 months ago).
“We extract information in real time and feed it into AI agents,” said Weiss, co-founder and CEO of Tavily. “These agents receive tools that allow them to pull high-quality, prioritized information. We work with various model providers such as Grok.
Companies today are seeking a unified search layer that allows them to query multiple models. Over 700,000 people are using our agents. If each company tried to build its search system, it would be overly complex. We were born into the world of agents, unlike traditional search companies. Ours isn’t just structured data retrieval, but dynamic, intelligent extraction.”
Tavily currently has about 30 employees working across New York, Tel Aviv, and Abu Dhabi, and plans to double its team by the end of the year.
“We began with an open-source agent, which evolved into today’s product,” said Weiss. “We recently established an office in Abu Dhabi through Alpha Wave. We expect around 15 employees there. The rest will be split between Tel Aviv and New York. We’re graduates of Columbia University, and our Israeli branch was launched within a few months. About half of our employees are based in Israel, and the other half in New York.”
