Hark raises $700 million Series A to build AI personal assistant with custom hardware

Hark, an AI lab founded by Brett Adcock in late 2025, raised $700 million in a Series A round valuing it at $6 billion post-money. The round was led by Parkway Venture Capital and included Align Ventures, AMD Ventures, ARK Invest, Brookfield, Greycroft, Intel Capital, Prime Movers Lab, Qualcomm Ventures, Salesforce Ventures, and TamarackGlobal.

The company plans to release multi-modal models (AI systems that process multiple types of input like text and images) this summer, followed by hardware devices built for those systems. Hark currently operates a data center with Nvidia B200 GPUs and employs 70 people.

Hark's director of design, Abidur Chowdhury (former Apple product executive), stated that most AI products on the market focus on coding tools, whereas Hark is building interfaces and native hardware specifically for non-technical users. The company will spend the fresh capital on recruiting talent in hardware, product design, and AI research, as well as securing compute and components.
