Taktile Expands Financial Decision Platform with $110M Series C and US Sales Hiring

Taktile raised $110 million in Series C funding led by Goldman Sachs Alternatives, with participation from Tiger Global, Index Ventures, and Y Combinator, according to Fortune. The round follows a $54 million Series B led by Balderton Capital in early 2025, reported by TechCrunch. Headquartered in Berlin and New York, Taktile builds an AI-powered decision platform designed to help banks, credit unions, insurers, and fintechs automate complex risk decisions across customer onboarding, know-your-customer (KYC) checks, credit underwriting, fraud detection, and anti-money laundering (AML) compliance.

From MLOps Pivot to Agentic Decision Infrastructure

Taktile was co-founded in 2020 by Chief Executive Officer Maik Taro Wehmeyer and CPTO Dr. Maximilian Eber after meeting at Harvard and working together as machine learning engineers at QuantCo. Speaking on the podcast Fintech Leaders, Wehmeyer explained that Taktile originally started as a horizontal, developer-first MLOps platform. When competing tools from hyperscalers saturated the market, 99 out of 100 banks rejected their initial pitch. Listening to feedback from early credit and risk analysts, the founders pivoted to build a low-code decision environment layered on top of machine learning models.

Today, Taktile combines three connected components: a decision engine, a third-party data marketplace, and an agent platform. In an interview with PYMNTS, Wehmeyer noted that while thousands of financial institutions remain cautious about AI, adoption is shifting toward production workflows as decision speeds compress from weeks to minutes. Taktile powers decisions for global institutions and digital fintechs including Monzo, Mercury, Faire, Pleo, Kueski, and Allianz.

Scaling AI Capabilities and Benchmarks

A key technical inflection point occurred over the 2025 holiday period when model upgrades, specifically Anthropic’s Opus 4.5, enabled Taktile’s agents to process complex, structured numerical data accurately, as Wehmeyer shared on Fintech Leaders. Previous models struggled with financial spreading for small-and-medium business (SMB) underwriting, but the updated agents outperformed human analysts at extracting and matching balance sheet and cash flow numbers.

To address industry trust and regulatory requirements, Taktile launched Taktile Labs, a research institute building industry-specific evals and benchmarks for financial use cases like KYB and SMB lending. To mark the launch, Taktile commissioned artist Andrew Logan to build a 300-pound bronze lobster sculpture and placed it in front of Wall Street's Charging Bull statue without a permit, generating 20 million views online, as detailed by Observer.

Taktile has continued expanding its feature set across 2026. In February, the company launched its Agentic AML Solution platform to automate know-your-business checks and sanctions screening, reported on LinkedIn. Later in the year, Taktile introduced Taktile Insights, a natural language tool allowing policy teams to question and optimize decision logic, showcased in a video by Taktile. The platform has also deepened integrations with core banking software providers like MANTL, reported by PR Newswire, and credit risk modeling firms like Carrington Labs, covered by Finovate.

Building out the US Commercial and Solutions Engineering Team

To support its expanding US market presence, Taktile is actively hiring across sales and engineering in New York and remote US locations. The company’s go-to-market motion relies on white-glove enterprise deployment alongside direct executive engagement.

In sales development, Taktile is recruiting a New York-based Senior Business Development Representative and a Business Development Representative. Both roles involve generating pipeline and engaging daily with bank and fintech executives to share market insights.

For senior sales leadership, Taktile is seeking a remote US-based Enterprise Account Executive offering a salary of $300,000 per year, and a remote Senior Account Executive with a salary of $250,000 per year. These roles are responsible for building enterprise customer pipelines and guiding large financial institutions through complex, multi-stage sales cycles.

To support presales execution, Taktile is hiring a New York-based Senior Solutions Engineer paying between $175,000 and $240,000 per year, as well as a contract Lead Solutions Engineer with a salary range of $200,000 to $275,000 per year. Both engineers act as the primary technical bridge to architect AI-driven decisioning platforms for enterprise prospects.
