Bardeen secured $3M in a new strategic investment from Dropbox and HubSpot

Bardeen, the developer behind a platform that automates repetitive knowledge work, has received a $3 million strategic investment from Dropbox Ventures and HubSpot Ventures. This brings Bardeen's total funding up to $22 million. Moreover, as part of the deal, Dropbox and HubSpot will become distributors of Bardeen's technology.

Bardeen was founded in 2020 by Artem Harutyunyan and Pascal Weinberger. The company's agent platform runs as a context-aware browser extension that can perform a "planning" step after receiving instructions to help with the platform's capability to deliver consistent responses to the users' instructions. Bardeen's agents are also designed to learn from usage patterns to improve future performance. The company has stated it leverages Gemini to process questions and GPT models for certain automation tasks but benchmarks all the models in the market to find the ones that perform best at the tasks Bardeen requires.

With integrations across hundreds of popular business tools, a no-code sandbox for building custom workflows, and a growing user base of over a thousand paying customers, including notable ones like Deel and Miro, Bardeen is positioning itself as a formidable player in the AI automation market.
