Pigment Raises $250M at $2.3B for AI Business Planning

Paris-based business planning platform Pigment has raised $250 million in Series E funding at a $2.3 billion valuation, marking one of the largest enterprise software rounds in Europe this year. The round was led by the Scaleup Europe Fund, managed by EQT, with participation from World Innovation Lab and existing backers Greenoaks, ICONIQ, IVP, and Meritech. NVIDIA is also set to invest.

Pigment says the capital will fund its push toward autonomous planning — AI agents that run planning workflows end to end for large enterprises. The company reports it surpassed $100 million in annual recurring revenue earlier in 2026, doubling for a third straight year. It names Danone, Siemens, Snowflake, ServiceNow, and Unilever among its customers, and claims 85% of new metrics in its platform are now created by an agent rather than a person.

The investment centers on Graphite, Pigment’s proprietary compute engine, which the company says lets thousands of agents and people work on a single governed model at once, scaling to hundreds of billions of data points. Recent releases include an intent-modeling agent that turns plain-language goals into production-ready planning models, plus connectors that pull live context from tools like Notion, Google Drive, and Slack.

The round follows a string of agent-focused launches in 2026 and comes as finance teams look to AI for faster forecasting and scenario planning.
