Whirl AI emerges from stealth to help enterprise IT modernize business processes and systems
ICONIQ leads one of the earliest investments in Whirl AI ever, supporting the missing foundation layer for enterprise AI Seed funding is $8.9 million.
san francisco, March 31, 2026 /PRNewswire/ — Whirl AI today announced its emergence from stealth and $8.9 million in seed funding led by ICONIQ and prominent angel investors.
The company was founded by Sunny Bedi, who spent 20 years in CIO and IT leadership positions at some of the world’s most important technology companies, including VMware, NVIDIA, and Snowflake. The problems he set out to solve are ones that he has seen grow in complexity throughout his career. The knowledge of how enterprise systems actually work – all the customizations, all the workarounds, all the decisions made by someone who left the company three years ago – doesn’t exist anywhere a machine can find it. And without that context, they cannot be meaningfully enhanced or transformed.
“Every CIO I know wants to leverage AI to make their business more responsive and transformative,” said Bedi. “But before Enterprise AI can do anything truly meaningful, helping change core business processes and underlying systems, it needs the context of an enterprise’s applications, configurations, and integrations. That’s why enterprise AI continues to stagnate. We built Whirl AI to fix that, so the world can stop waiting for enterprise IT and start leading with IT.”
Whirl AI uses AI to solve one of enterprise IT’s most pressing challenges: how to understand, enhance, and transform the systems businesses rely on every day. The Whirl platform securely and continuously maintains the context of how these systems actually operate. Leveraging this knowledge, dedicated AI agents help enterprise IT professionals research, design, develop, implement, and test changes to enterprise applications, integrations, and configurations in hours instead of weeks or months, without compromising quality or control.
Whirl AI is already being deployed with design partners in some of the most complex enterprise environments on the market.
ICONIQ Partner Matt Jacobson said, “I worked with Sunny for years when he was at Snowflake and watched him navigate large, highly complex enterprise environments. The problems that Whirl solves are not theoretical to him; he has experienced it firsthand at scale for 20 years.” “Enterprise AI is full of pilots that never make it to production, and the reason is often the same: AI doesn’t fully understand the environment it’s operating in. Whirl is purpose-built to fix that, and I believe no one is better placed to fix that than Sunny.”
Whirl AI is headquartered in San Francisco, California. The company actively recruits and partners with companies to deploy the platform across its production environments. For more information, please visit whirlai.com.
