AI startup funding expansions

Overview

In July 2026, Ollama announced an $88 million financing round aimed at scaling its locally‑focused artificial‑intelligence platform. The capital is intended to broaden the company’s product offerings and market reach.

A month later, in August 2026, Greek AI firm Omilia closed a $67 million Series B led by Expedition Growth Capital. The funding will support rapid international growth, including the launch of its first U.S. office later in the year. Omilia’s voice‑first AI solutions target heavily regulated sectors such as banking, insurance and healthcare, and the company reports high‑volume deployments handling millions of calls daily.

Both rounds reflect a broader trend of substantial investment into AI startups seeking to expand globally and deepen capabilities across regulated industries.
