Lyzr closes $100M Series B — and lets its own agent, SivaClaw, run the raise

TechCrunch·high signal

On July 9, 2026, enterprise-agent startup Lyzr closed a $100M Series B at a roughly $500M valuation and let its own agent, SivaClaw, run the process. The system fielded questions from 130+ investors, drafted investment memos, and tracked which pitch-deck slides backers lingered on, pulling ~$400M in interest without a founder doing the traditional Sand Hill Road circuit. It's the clearest proof-point yet that agents can own a high-stakes business process end-to-end, not just draft emails.
