Twin1 AI Raises $20M Seed Round to Build Digital Twins for Enterprise AI

Twin1 AI, a digital twin platform for enterprise professionals, has emerged from stealth with $20 million in seed funding as it looks to build what the company describes as a coordination and trust layer for enterprise AI.

The company was founded in 2025 by Dr. Lewis Z. Liu, Tom Cahn, Huiting Liu and Dr. Jonathan Budd. Liu is the former CEO and co-founder of Eigen Technologies, while Cahn and Liu also previously worked at Eigen, which was acquired by Sirion in 2024.

Twin1 AI is building AI-powered digital twins designed to work alongside professionals and preserve their judgment, relationships and context. The company's goal is to allow employees to scale their expertise across an organisation while maintaining control over how their information and context are used.

The platform connects with tools professionals already use, including Slack, Microsoft Teams, Outlook, Gmail, Google Drive and SharePoint. Users control what information their digital twin can access and how that context is shared.

Twin1 AI says its digital twins can operate across existing workplace applications rather than functioning as standalone AI assistants. The approach is designed to allow AI agents to work within the same environments where professionals already communicate, manage information and collaborate.

The company already has customers across several industries. Its customers include major law firms such as Linklaters, Orrick and Dechert, financial institutions including Customers Bank, and energy companies such as Aegis Energy.

The company's presence among large professional-services organisations highlights its focus on enterprise applications where institutional knowledge, relationships and professional judgment are particularly important.

Wendy Butler Curtis, chief innovation officer at Orrick, said Twin1 provides an opportunity to make greater use of an organisation's collective data while enhancing client advice and the way professionals work.

The latest funding will be used to expand Twin1 AI's teams in San Mateo, California, and London, UK. The company will also invest in go-to-market activities and further development of its core technology.

The $20 million seed round attracted a broad group of investors, including EJF Ventures, Tin Alley Ventures, AGI House Ventures, Neo, F-Prime, Btech Consortium, Antiportfolio Ventures, Lakestar, Notion Capital and Insiders.

Orrick also participated through a strategic investment. Angel investors included Dawn Capital co-founder Haakon Overli, Wiz co-founder Roy Reznick, Notable Capital managing partner Hans Tung, former McKinsey senior partner Kevin Buehler, climate technology investor Robert Trezona and former Macquarie Capital global co-head Dan Wong.

Several investors in the round had also backed Eigen Technologies, reflecting continued confidence in the founding team's experience building enterprise AI companies.

Twin1 AI is entering a rapidly developing enterprise AI market where companies are moving beyond individual AI assistants toward systems that can operate across workplace applications and organisational workflows.

For Twin1, the challenge will be demonstrating that digital twins can preserve useful professional context while maintaining the security, permissions and user control required by large enterprises. Its early customer base in legal, financial and energy organisations provides an initial testing ground as the company expands its platform.
