Whale raises $40M Series C3 extension, total Series C hits $100M

The round bets that enterprise AI's next frontier is reading physical spaces through cameras and sensors, not just chat logs.

• Whale, a Singapore-headquartered enterprise AI company, closed a $40 million Series C3 extension co-led by CMB International and SMBC Asia Rising Fund, lifting total Series C funding to $100 million.
• Whale builds an 'AI Operating System' for enterprises, using its proprietary Business World Model to interpret signals from cameras, sensors and audio the way LLMs process text.
• Its flagship products include SpaceSight, which tracks foot traffic, dwell time and compliance via cameras and IoT sensors, and Echo, which analyzes frontline sales conversations for coaching insights.
• Whale says it serves more than 1,600 enterprises across 45+ countries and manages over 600,000 edge AI nodes globally.
• Other extension backers include Krungsri Finnovate, Singtel Innov8, Hyundai Motor Group and Charisma Partners, joining earlier Series C investors like Bosch Ventures and MDI Ventures.
• The fresh capital will fund team expansion, enterprise partnerships and infrastructure integrations as Whale pushes into the Middle East, North Africa and Europe after establishing footholds in Asia-Pacific and North America.
• The round signals that major Asian banks are betting enterprise AI's next value lies not in generating content but in structuring unstructured data from physical operations into decision-ready intelligence.
