Pablo Palafox: HappyRobot Announces $150M Round
Pablo Palafox announces HappyRobot's $150M raise and explains how the company helps enterprises put AI agents to work in communication-heavy operations across supply chain, telco, utilities, and financial services, with customers including DHL, Kuehne+Nagel, Deutsche Telekom, Orange, and Repsol. He describes forward-deployed engineers as the best go-to-market lever and a unified context/orchestration layer rather than 40 point solutions. Enterprises now want fewer vendors, roughly 5x ROI, and governance — one utility customer evaluated 30 vendors plus an internal build — and exec AI literacy has risen sharply in two years.
