a16z-Backed AI Startup Hilbert Secures $28M Series A to Automate Business Growth Decisions

Hilbert, an innovative AI startup, has raised $28 million in a Series A funding round.

The round was led by prominent venture capital firm a16z (Andreessen Horowitz), marking continued support following their earlier seed investment.

Hilbert's AI-Powered Growth Engine

Hilbert develops AI software that connects data across teams, enabling companies to make decisions from a unified system.

The platform uses deep learning to analyze customer data, structure it for AI models, and recommend actions complete with projected dollar impacts.

Founded by Nazli Tan, the company targets B2C businesses seeking predictive insights into user behavior and revenue drivers.

Proven Traction with Major Customers

Early adopters include retail giants like Walmart, which uses Hilbert to understand shopper needs and drive actions.

Other customers such as FreshDirect, Blank Street, and Levain have signed contracts ranging from hundreds of thousands to millions of dollars.

Pricing scales based on company size and data volume, demonstrating strong enterprise appeal.

History and Future Outlook

Prior to this Series A, Hilbert secured a $17 million seed round led by a16z in February 2026, valuing it at around $100 million post-money.

With total funding now exceeding $45 million, the startup is poised to advance AI's role in executing core business decisions.

"It's all about learning from your company deeply," stated founder Nazli Tan, emphasizing the need for systems beyond mere analysis.

This investment underscores the growing impact of AI on enterprise growth, positioning Hilbert as a leader in the evolving AI landscape.
