Funding
- $66M Series A, announced October 27, 2026. Led by Elad Gil. Re-ruled 10-30 hold. New proof: the company's own announcement on lumaril.substack.com (linked from lumaril.com), dated Oct 27, 2026: '$66M Series A at a $400M valuation, led by returning investor Elad Gil, with participation from Felicis, Koch Disruptive Technologies, Pax Ventures, and our previous seed co-leads Lux Capital and General Catalyst.' Pulse 2.0 independently reports the same amount and lead. (The SaaS News copies Pulse 2.0; WSJ returned 401.) AI basis: lumaril.com says the platform's Decide step is 'classical control methods and state-of-the-art AI and ML', and the post calls its product 'AI-enabled'. So AI does the platform's core work, not one feature. This is a borderline call, close to the autonomy precedent (its tagline is 'Intelligence for the physical economy'). Editor may reverse. Oct 27 falls in store week 10-26. Also reported: $400M valuation, $78M raised in total. Listed in the AI startup funding roster for October 26–31, 2026. Sources: Lumaril (company blog): Nothing is built from nothing, Oct 27 2026, Pulse 2.0.
Of the 71 Series A rounds with exactly stated amounts in dollars on Presspool's weekly rosters since September 21, 2026, Lumaril's $66M is the 10th largest; their median is $20.7 million.
