Anvil Secures $10M for AI Workflow Automation
Anvil, a company providing SDKs for document automation and AI workflows, has secured $10 million in Series A funding. The investment will advance its data-first platform, which can be used by edtech companies to streamline processes like student onboarding, parental consent forms, and generating learning reports.
- The Series A funding was an extension that brought the total to $10 million and was co-led by Craft Ventures and Gradient Ventures, Google's AI-focused venture fund that backs early-stage AI startups. - Anvil's platform is designed to treat documents as structured data by using APIs and no-code tools to automate workflows, which allows for the extraction and utilization of information from forms for data analysis and other applications. - The company offers a developer-centric platform that includes a Document SDK, enabling engineers to embed and customize document workflows directly into their applications with features for PDF filling, data collection, and e-signatures. - The funding is earmarked for market growth and team expansion, including the hiring of a Head of Sales and the recent addition of a VP of Marketing from Postman and Salesforce. - Anvil was founded in 2018 by Mang Git Ng and Ben Ogle and is based in San Francisco. - While the platform is used across industries like insurance and fintech, Anvil also offers its platform for free for educational purposes to allow students to build interactive web applications using only Python.
