AI hardware startup Hark has raised more than $700 million in a new Series A funding round, valuing the company at $6 billion, according to reports.
The round was led by Parkway Venture Capital and attracted participation from major technology and semiconductor investors, including Nvidia, AMD Ventures, Intel Capital, Qualcomm Ventures, Salesforce Ventures and several other strategic backers across the AI and chip ecosystem.
Hark is focused on building a new generation of AI systems that combine software, foundation models and dedicated hardware into a single integrated platform. The company aims to develop “personal AI” systems designed to operate across both digital environments and physical devices, with an emphasis on more natural and continuous interaction.
The startup was founded by Brett Adcock, who previously launched robotics company Figure AI and electric aircraft firm Archer Aviation. Adcock initially funded Hark with $100 million of his own capital before the company emerged from stealth earlier this year.
Although Hark has not yet detailed its full product lineup, it is expected to release its first multimodal AI models in the coming months, with early access programs planned ahead of broader deployment.
The large funding round reflects continued investor enthusiasm for AI infrastructure and hardware companies, particularly those aiming to reduce dependence on centralized cloud systems by integrating AI more closely with physical devices.
Hark’s emergence adds to a growing wave of high-valuation AI startups competing in the race to build next-generation computing platforms that blend robotics, chips and generative AI into unified systems.
