Overview
Sana builds a platform-agnostic large language model and tooling that integrates with enterprise tech stacks to let assistants and agents draw on structured and unstructured data. Its products enable AI agents to make informed decisions, collaborate on multi-step problems, complete tasks in other apps, and self-critique outputs. Sana offers a retrieval-augmented generation (RAG) capability and an agent solution called A-4. Customers include Merck, Hinge Health, Electrolux, and Svea Solar. The company recently acquired CTRL, an AI workflow automation startup backed by LocalGlobe and Earlybird and used by Stripe, Airtable, and Snowflake. Sana plans to use new funding to accelerate global go-to-market expansion and to step up AI and experience-design R&D. The company is headquartered in Stockholm, Sweden and has raised over $130M in total funding. Sana is an AI-powered learning platform that combines enterprise search, a learning management system, meeting tools, and knowledge management into a single product. The platform acts as an omnipresent assistant, searching across company apps, taking actions from natural language commands, generating real-time meeting summaries, creating full learning courses, and writing SQL to query data. The company is led by founder and CEO Joel Hellermark and is based in Stockholm with offices in London and New York. Sana intends to use the new funding to expand its product development and commercial teams across Stockholm, London, and New York. Financially, the company completed an additional $28M in Series B funding, bringing the Series B to $62M and total funding to more than $85M. Investors named in the article include NEA and Workday Ventures. Sana provides a platform and AI engine that connects to workplace apps (Salesforce, email, Notion, GitHub, Slack, Trello, Asana, etc.) to ingest, organize and maintain organizational information. Users can query that knowledge in natural language and convert it into e-learning modules for onboarding, training and professional development. The product combines knowledge management, enterprise search and e-learning into a single workflow, driving continuous engagement with weekly and daily active usage among tens of thousands of employees at about 100 customers. Sana uses models from OpenAI as the underlying language models and builds user experience and product features on top. The company has built verification controls that let customers limit sources, mark verified information and rank inputs to manage accuracy. Sana focuses on enterprise customers today for scalability but sees potential longer-term applicability in traditional education. Sana Labs builds an AI-powered personalized, adaptive learning platform that tailors reskilling and upskilling for multi-sector professionals. The platform applies machine learning to accelerate time to mastery, improve engagement, and deliver detailed learning analytics. Its solution is used by major companies including Novartis, Amgen, Mount Sinai and PepsiCo. Founded in 2016 and based in Stockholm, Sweden, the company is led by founder and CEO Joel Hellermark. Sana Labs raised $18M in a Series A and plans to invest the proceeds in technology R&D, sales-focused marketing, and hiring to expand operations. The company positions itself as a global leader in personalized learning for workplace training.
