Read full description
The company is led by a senior leadership team with backgrounds at Palantir, DeepMind, McKinsey, Goldman Sachs, spanning research, engineering, product, go-to-market and forward deployed engineers.
In 2024, H Company raised a record-breaking $220M seed round, the largest in Europe, reflecting strong investor confidence in its technology and ambition to become a global leader in autonomous virtual humanoids AI.
H Company develops advanced “computer-use” AI models agents capable of interacting directly with user interfaces (web, desktop, internal tools) through vision-based models. These systems combine perception, reasoning, and action to navigate software environments in a human-like way, without relying on traditional API integrations.
Powered by its proprietary multimodal models (Holo series), H Company’s agents can understand context, plan multi-step actions, and execute tasks across complex enterprise environments such as ERPs, CRMs, and internal systems.
H Company serves leading enterprises globally, enabling them to automate high-friction operational processes and unlock productivity gains at scale. Its approach positions AI not as a passive assistant, but as an autonomous digital operator embedded directly into business workflows.
The company collaborates closely with NVIDIA, building on Nemotron architectures and participating in the NVIDIA Inception Program. Its latest model, Holotron-12B, was developed in collaboration with NVIDIA and is engineered for high-throughput, large-scale agent deployment, achieving significant gains in both performance and efficiency for real-world workloads.
H Company deploys its technology through a Forward Deployed Engineering (FDE) model, working directly with enterprise clients to identify high-impact workflows, integrate agents into real environments, and deliver measurable outcomes. The core promise is ROI, not experimentation: agents are designed to replace or augment concrete tasks with clear productivity gains, rather than act as an additional cost layer.
Leadership team: Gautier Cloix (CEO), Géraldine Lafontaine (COO / US CRO), Maxime Defauw (FDEs), Caroline Charra (CPO), Laurent Sifre (Science), Pierre-Louis Cedoz (AI Research) alongside a multidisciplinary leadership group across research, engineering, product, go-to-market and Forward Deployed Engineers.
