Distyl AI, the innovative startup enabling blue-chip companies to build AI-native enterprises, has successfully raised $175 million in its latest funding round, valuing the company at $1.8 billion. Leading investors in this round include Lightspeed Venture Partners, Khosla Ventures, DST Global, Coatue, and Dell Technologies Capital. Distyl collaborates with Fortune 500 companies across healthcare, telecommunications, insurance, manufacturing, and financial services, delivering tangible results today while preparing them to reimagine their business models for the AI era.

Historically, enterprises were structured around assembly line principles, centralizing decisions while decentralizing execution, which created the rigid silos many companies still face today. While this model drove industrial-era productivity, it no longer meets the demands of modern enterprises. Distyl AI is pioneering a new operating model that enables AI-native orchestration across silos, allowing business context to flow seamlessly and outcomes to compound efficiently.

“The companies that win in the AI era are those that are willing to reimagine how they operate, not just what tools they use,” said Arjun Prakash, CEO of Distyl AI. “AI is forcing enterprises to move beyond silos. Distyl partners with leaders from day zero to design that transformation, embed engineering talent, and deliver outcomes within three months that prove the model. Ultimately, our goal is to work with the companies that will lead the organizational transformations shaping the next stage of global leadership.”

Founded by Arjun Prakash and Derek Ho, Distyl combines top talent, advanced technology, and AI systems research to help clients leapfrog into the AI era with a results-first approach. Its proprietary AI agent, Distillery, is tailored by Distyl engineers and trained on specialized research, driving transformations across multiple sectors:

  • A telecommunications firm is building the first AI-native telco, moving beyond traditional operations.
  • A healthcare company is rearchitecting prior authorization and care delivery to enable value-based healthcare models previously restricted by legacy systems.
  • A Fortune 50 hardware manufacturer achieved 80% faster root-cause resolution using Distyl’s platform.
  • Another healthcare client saved $23 million annually.

To date, Distyl has maintained a 100% production success record, reaching over 120 million end users and generating hundreds of millions in operational impact. Its unique model guarantees measurable outcomes within a quarter, laying the foundation for rapid growth.

“AI will radically transform the way enterprises do business,” said Vinod Khosla, founder of Khosla Ventures. “Distyl AI is collaborating with global companies to leapfrog legacy infrastructure and build out AI-native enterprises, setting them on a path to be leaders in their respective industries.”

With this funding, Distyl aims to support the next decade’s global leaders, announcing new roles, partnerships, and customer initiatives in the near future. Prakash added, “Our belief is that the next chapter of AI leadership won’t be won by the models alone, but by operationalizing AI at scale in enterprises and transforming how they work.”

As businesses navigate this paradigm shift, Distyl’s mission remains clear: to guide enterprises from siloed operations to AI-native models capable of adapting, compounding value, and leading for decades to come.
