Whale, a Singapore-headquartered enterprise AI company, raised a $40M Series C extension led by CMB International and SMBC’s Asia Rising Fund, bringing its total Series C to $100M. Krungsri Finnovate, Singtel Innov8, Hyundai Motor Group, and Charisma Partners also joined, with Whale planning to scale its teams, deepen enterprise partnerships, and expand platform integrations across Asia Pacific and North America before entering the Middle East and Europe. Whale builds an AI operating system for enterprise operations, centered on a Business World Model that reads signals from cameras, sensors, and audio the way large language models read text, powering tools that track foot traffic in physical locations and analyze frontline sales conversations.
