Poetiq Secures $45.8M Seed Round to Accelerate Recursive Self-Improvement
We are thrilled to announce that Poetiq has raised $45.8M in Seed funding. This round was supported by a coalition of world-class partners, including Surface, FYRFLY, Y Combinator, 468 Capital, Operator Collective, NeuronVC, and HICO.
We are incredibly grateful to these investors for backing our vision – the path to superintelligence lies in automated, recursive self-improvement.
The Next Phase of Agentic AI
With this capital, we are accelerating the development of our core technology—a system that automatically creates expert agents capable of dramatically outperforming their underlying language models.
As demonstrated in our recent work on ARC-AGI, our approach works on hard problems where the leading models struggle. Additionally, we have proven that our system can lift the performance of smaller, cost-efficient models to compete directly with frontier reasoning models. With this additional funding, we can now run our recursive improvement loops around the clock, building the engine that improves itself with every iteration.
Join Our Mission
This funding allows us to scale our infrastructure and, most importantly, our team. We are looking for builders and thought-leaders who have strong intuitions for how to break past current model limitations or a deep passion for integrating cutting-edge AI into commercial applications. Check out our open roles.
