Israeli-Dutch AI startup Wonderful has raised $550 million in a Series C funding round, giving it a price tag of $5 billion, more than double the $2 billion valuation the company received when it last raised about six months ago.
Insight Partners led this round, with returning investors Index Ventures, IVP, Vine Ventures, 9Yards, and Bessemer Venture Partners. This round is Salesforce’s first investment in the company.
Founded in early 2025, Wonderful has grown at an incredible rate. The company initially gained significant attention for its customer service AI agent platform, which it built and customized to sell in a variety of non-English-speaking markets. Our strategy of deploying engineering teams to work with customers, in some cases on their premises, to deploy and integrate AI technology into their workflows and systems has also been very successful. The company says its service is currently available in more than 35 countries.
However, the startup’s core offering has evolved over the past few months. Stepping away from its customer service roots, Wonderful now offers a platform called Wonderful AI OS, which it says allows agents, workflows, and AI applications to coordinate and connect with an enterprise’s data, context, and existing integrations. The company says the platform works with any AI model and is compatible with existing technology stacks.
“Customers can adopt the parts of the platform that make the most sense, integrate with their existing systems, choose the best model for each workload, and retain ownership of everything they build,” Roey Lalazar, Wonderful CTO and co-founder, said in a statement.
The company still relies on forward-deployed engineers to help quickly integrate its products into enterprises. This seems like a good strategy considering the demand for experts skilled in implementing AI services and products.
Wonderful said it will use the new $550 million to accelerate product development, expand its FDE team and respond to product demand.
