AI startup zypl.ai has secured $5.5 million in a bridge round at an $80 million valuation, as the company accelerates its global expansion in financial services. The round was led by Carbide Ventures, with participation from prominent business leaders including Shukhrat Ibragimov.
The funding marks a key milestone for the company as it scales its synthetic data-driven AI platform across international markets. zypl.ai is focused on helping financial institutions improve decision-making through advanced AI models trained on synthetic datasets.
At the core of its technology is zGAN, a proprietary generative AI model designed to simulate outlier scenarios and enhance predictive accuracy, particularly during periods of macroeconomic volatility. The model is integrated into Lucid, zypl’s no-code platform that enables banks to independently build and deploy AI solutions.
“Carbide Ventures first invested in zypl a year ago and has been impressed by the team, product, and growth trajectory,” said Dan Weirich. “We are doubling down on our investment and working closely with the company to expand into new markets and unlock additional revenue streams.”
With more than 60 financial institutions across 20 markets already using its platform, zypl.ai is positioning itself at the intersection of AI infrastructure and financial services innovation. The new capital will support further deployment of its synthetic data solutions and accelerate growth in key regions.
Backed by investors including Prosus Ventures, zypl.ai continues to gain traction as demand rises for more resilient and data-efficient AI models in finance.
