Sequoia Capital

London – September 19, 2026 -- Magentic, a London and New York-based provider of AI digital workers for industrial operations, has closed an $18 million Series A round led by Felicis, with participation from existing backers Sequoia Capital and The Westly Group. The raise comes one year after the company's July 2025 launch and will fund expansion of its AI agent workforce for procurement and supply chain teams at large manufacturers.

San Francisco – September 07, 2026 -- empirik.ai emerged from stealth with $21 million in funding from Sequoia Capital, S32, Canapi Ventures and Alumni Ventures, launching what it calls the industry's first AI agent for infrastructure change.

Funding backs an AI agent built to close the gap between fast code and slow infrastructure review

The capital will expand empirik.ai's Autonomous Infrastructure Engineer, a system designed to let enterprises understand engineering intent, compute infrastructure impact deterministically, and execute complex changes without manual change-review bottlenecks. The company argues that as AI coding agents accelerate software production, infrastructure governance has remained manual and reactive, reliant on human-speed review boards and ticket queues, creating operational risk of severe production failures.
