About Halluminate
Halluminate is a San Francisco-based data research lab building benchmarks and reinforcement learning (RL) environments to push the frontier of AI in knowledge work. Its first area of focus is economically valuable workflows in financial services and consulting, where it builds computer-use and tool-use environments that train frontier AI models on real investment banking, private equity and consulting work; the company says it is rapidly expanding into adjacent verticals. Its research includes Westworld Finance Diligence Bench, a benchmark of 88 problems that evaluates AI agents on a complete company acquisition due-diligence process, with every problem written and reviewed by practising finance deal professionals. Halluminate was founded in 2024 by CEO Jerry Wu and CTO Wyatt Marshall. In October 2026, the company announced a $30 million Series A led by Oak HC/FT, with participation from Y Combinator, Orange Collective, FT Partners and Heavybit.
