AuxoAI Raises $20.7M Series A to Build the Forward-Deployed AI Company

NTTVC-led Series A backs AuxoAI’s industry-defining model for enterprise AI— combining forward-deployed expertise with deep enterprise context to redesign how work gets done and turn AI into measurable business outcomes.

SAN FRANCISCO, California — October 20, 2026 — AuxoAI today announced a $20.7 million Series A led by NTTVC, a Silicon Valley venture capital firm backed by Japanese technology conglomerate NTT, to accelerate the company’s growth and scale its forwarddeployed model for enterprise AI.

The round also includes participation from prominent technology executives and strategic investors, including George Still Jr., Partner Emeritus at Norwest Venture Partners and longtime Workday board member; Amit Zavery, President, Chief Product Officer and Chief Operating Officer at ServiceNow; and Giacomo Sonnino, Managing Director at Charlesbank Capital Partners and former COO of QuantumBlack North America.

AuxoAI has built a strong foundation over the last three years working with G2000 enterprises and strategic technology partners. At the center of AuxoAI’s approach are Forward Deployed Experts, a combination of Forward Deployed Strategists and Engineers who work alongside the customer’s business to understand how work actually happens, capture enterprise context, identify ways to reimagine work, and build production AI that gets used.

Strategy and engineering teams work in tandem with customers, building a unique approach that translates enterprise goals to production-grade AI deployments. AuxoAI accelerates time to value with its proprietary FDE Workbench, Damia, which has codified intelligence from several enterprise AI deployments.

Earlier this year, AuxoAI was announced as one of select AI Pureplay Partners at Google Next, as part of Google’s $750Mn investment in enterprise AI deployment.

Scaling the Forward-Deployed AI model

The Series A will accelerate the next phase of that journey: expanding AuxoAI’s global Forward Deployed talent, investing in proprietary technology and AI-native delivery capabilities, and scaling its presence and strategic ecosystem.

NTTVC’s portfolio includes industry leader Anthropic, making this investment a natural extension of the firm’s enterprise AI thesis that sees the technology moving beyond foundational models to AI deployment inside the enterprise.

AuxoAI works with marquee enterprise customers,including UKG, Athenahealth, Fogo De Chao, and Locums Tenens.

Bolstering AuxoAI’s Strategic Investors & Advisors

The company is also welcoming three strategic investors and advisors as part of this round: Amit Zavery, President, Chief Product Officer, and Chief Operating Officer at ServiceNow, Giacomo Sonnino, Managing Director at Charlesbank Capital Partners and former COO of QuantumBlack North America and George Still Jr., Partner Emeritus at Norwest Venture Partners and longtime Workday board member.
