Sierra has raised 950 million dollars from new and existing investors, led by Tiger Global and GV (Google Ventures), announced in a company blog post. The funding values the company at more than 15 billion dollars and brings its total capital to over 1 billion dollars.

Sierra, co-founded by Bret Taylor and Clay Bavor, provides AI agents that automate customer interactions across sectors such as banking, healthcare, telecommunications, and retail. The company says its platform now serves over 40 percent of the Fortune 50, with its agents handling billions of interactions including loan processing, insurance claims, and product returns.

According to the company, clients have been able to deploy AI agents within weeks. For example, Nordstrom launched a voice agent in five weeks, Singtel in ten weeks, and Cigna in eight weeks. Sierra said these deployments have improved resolution times and reduced authentication processes by up to 80 percent.

The company stated that the new funding will support its goal of becoming the global standard for enterprises seeking to transform customer experiences through AI.
