Distyl AI is an enterprise AI company founded in 2022 by Arjun Prakash and Derek Ho, both Palantir alumni, headquartered in San Francisco. Rather than selling a self-serve software product, Distyl builds and embeds AI systems directly into a client's operations, aiming for measurable outcomes over feature checklists.
The company's Distillery Platform is designed to plug into a client's existing systems and start producing results in weeks rather than the multi-year timelines associated with traditional enterprise AI transformation projects. Distyl raised $175 million in a September 2025 Series B at a $1.8 billion valuation, a roughly 9x jump from its prior round, with Khosla Ventures and Lightspeed Venture Partners leading and clients including T-Mobile across telecommunications, healthcare, insurance, retail, and manufacturing.
Distyl targets Fortune 500 and Global 1000 enterprises seeking measurable AI-driven value rather than a subscription tool for individual teams. There is no published pricing; engagements run on a custom, outcome-driven contract model negotiated directly with each client.
