On July 14, 2026, InstaLILY AI, creator of Lily, the world's first AI Forward Deployed Engineer, announced a $60 million Series B round led by Energize Capital. The round included participation from Insight Partners, which increased its investment, and new strategic investors including Home Depot Ventures and United Rentals. The Series B brings InstaLILY’s total raised to nearly $100 million, after a year in which the company’s revenue grew by a multiple of five. Wilson Sonsini Goodrich & Rosati advised InstaLILY on the transaction.
Lily goes into a business, learns how it works, builds what the work needs, and gets it running by finding revenue, pricing quotes, planning routes, and diagnosing equipment in the field. Unlike a traditional demo or pilot, it runs the business with people in control, and it goes live in days versus months. After launch, it keeps shipping and gets better the longer it runs. InstaLILY will use the Series B funding to help Lily learn faster, take on more of the work, expand into new industries, and grow the team. The company will also continue building the Small Data Center, the infrastructure that makes always-on intelligence possible inside a business, at a cost and energy profile enterprises can sustain.
The Wilson Sonsini team that advised InstaLILY on the transaction included Megan Baier and Sam Obenhaus.
