Intelligence.ai says that in six months, a team of 10 scaled the company from $5M to $60M ARR and reached 5.5M users across 190+ countries.
It also announced a $7.9M seed round led by Index Ventures, with participation from Conviction, AStar VC, and Y Combinator. The company is building DesignArena, a universal interface for accessing and evaluating AI capabilities.
Its pitch is that the real world, not a synthetic benchmark, should be the verifier: users submit requests, models compete to satisfy them, live behavior decides which models work best, and that feedback improves routing and access to the right system.
