"It's fantastic to have the support of top-tier, long-term institutional investors," said Qasar Younis, co-founder and CEO of Applied Intuition. "This secondary round is a testament to our growth, and it marks our third tender offer with some of our biggest shareholders — our employees. Recruiting world-class talent and rewarding them for their hard work is a hallmark of Silicon Valley's success."
The oversubscribed secondary round comes on the heels of Applied Intuition raising a $250 million Series E announced back in March. The Series E funding is being used to grow Applied Intuition's team and expand the company's AI-powered product portfolio to continue meeting customer needs.
"Applied Intuition is going full speed ahead and benefiting from the extraordinary confluence of AI, autonomous driving, and electrification," said Peter Ludwig, co-founder and CTO of Applied Intuition. "Every customer we meet wants to build future-proof products and looks to us as a mission-critical partner."
2024 is already shaping up to be another momentous year for Applied Intuition. The company recently launched an off-road autonomy stack solution enabling safe navigation of complex unstructured terrain, a generative AI tool that creates simulation scenarios up to 40 times faster, a hardware-in-the-loop testing software and an automated parking development solution. The company also announced partnerships with Porsche AG and Audi, further demonstrating automotive OEM trust in the brand.
