Edra is a New York AI startup founded in 2024 by former Palantir Forward Deployed AI Engineering leaders Eugen Alpeza and Yannis Karamanlakis. Its AI agents reverse-engineer how a business actually runs from existing systems, creating executable knowledge by analyzing the data a company already generates through support tickets, emails, logs and chat histories, then automating the work. The company is already working with organizations including HubSpot, ASOS and Cushman & Wakefield. Edra raised a $30M Series A led by Sequoia Capital in March 2026, with participation from 8VC, A* and HubSpot Ventures, following an earlier ~$6.5M seed, bringing total funding to over $30M.
