The AI startup targeting financial services automation closed its Series C round on Wednesday. Goldman Sachs led the round, with Tiger Global, Index Ventures and Y Combinator participating.
FortuneTaktile announced a $110 million Series C funding round on Wednesday. An arm of Goldman Sachs led the round, with participation from Tiger Global, Index Ventures and Y Combinator. Cofounded by machine-learning engineers Maik Taro Wehmeyer and Maximilian Eber, Taktile develops software that automates high-risk decisions such as transaction screening, claims processing and customer onboarding at banks and insurers.
Wehmeyer declined to disclose the valuation. “AI has been around for a couple of years, but 2026 is the year where AI comes to financial services,” Wehmeyer said. He described the platform using the example of insurance claims after a tornado in Minnesota, where sequential AI agents would read documents, match data to policy coverage and decide on payouts.
Wehmeyer said the company will use the proceeds to expand its software and open an office in São Paulo. Fortune reported the details of the round and the cofounder’s comments. OpenAI launched ChatGPT in 2022.
Taktile positions its product as an operating system that converts models from leading AI labs into specialized agents for financial institutions rather than competing with general-purpose tools.
