AskTuring.ai Launches Series A Fundraise and Appoints Guy Reams as Co-CEO

Private, secure LLM platform for enterprises builds on oversubscribed seed round and rapidly growing customer base, adds to leadership team

SAN DIEGO--(BUSINESS WIRE)--AskTuring, a private and secure enterprise AI platform that gives small- to medium-sized businesses the power to confidentially work with their own data without Large Language Models (LLMs) training on it, today announced its Series A financing round, targeting $10–$15 million to accelerate product development and customer growth.

The AskTuring platform enables organizations to leverage Retrieval-Augmented Generation (RAG) while maintaining unparalleled control over proprietary content and data. The model-agnostic platform delivers the power of large LLMs while offering security (SOC2), privacy, and compliance.

As part of its growth strategy and Series A launch, AskTuring has appointed Guy Reams as Co-CEO alongside AskTuring Co-Founder and Co-CEO Neil Senturia, a serial entrepreneur with a decades-long track record of funding and leading successful technology companies.

For the past 12 years, Reams has delivered AI enterprise solutions to the Fortune 500. He has also developed effective go-to-market strategies, integrated acquisitions, and turned around underperforming organizations across a variety of industries. At AskTuring, he will define the company’s vision and strategy while leading cross-functional teams to drive rapid product iteration and customer adoption of its core intelligence engine.

“AskTuring has capabilities no direct competitor currently offers in combination,” said Reams. “It isn’t another AI tool. It’s the definitive trust layer for AI adoption — giving organizations confidence in security, privacy, and control of their content. The platform brings enterprise-level AI with seamless integration into their workflow.”

To support its next phase of growth, AskTuring has also added seasoned managers to its team:

• Ranjan Raha, Vice President, Technical Program Management
  With proven expertise in leading development teams Raha is adept at defining technology-driven strategies, process improvements, and AI-driven initiatives. Previously a Senior IT Project Manager at Qualcomm, Raha has a deep background in managing the full lifecycle of complex software, cloud migration, and AI-driven initiatives.

• Seb O'Cuilleanain, Chief Revenue Officer
  O’Cuilleanain has successfully managed numerous enterprise AI solutions as well as emerging technologies in cyber security, application performance monitoring, and DevOps over his career. In charge of quickly accelerating adoption and revenue at AskTuring, he will drive enterprise sales and VAR relationships.

• Jignesh Parikh, Chief Product Officer
  Parikh was most recently Director of IT for AdiSphere. Prior to that, he was IT Director/Principal Consultant for a project with Intuit and worked at Qualcomm where he led the Digital Transformation Program. At AskTuring he will be managing the product development timeline and future feature releases.

“When you set out to build a truly differentiated solution in a space like AI — which is rapidly evolving and reshaping how we all work — it is only and all about the talent,” said Senturia.

AskTuring launched with an oversubscribed $3 million seed funding round in Q3 2024 and has customers across multiple sectors including law firms, wealth management firms, manufacturers, and professional sports teams.
