OpenAI and Datadog leaders back AI deployment startup Arrakis

London-based AI deployment startup Arrakis has emerged from stealth, having raised nearly $40m in just over three months. Arrakis was founded by former Accel investor Rafael Quintanilla, along with former Palantir executive Haroun Beltaifa, Romain Fouilland, also previously of Palantir, and Mikhail Galkov, a former Delivery Hero engineer. It has raised $38m in over three months, including a $30m Series A co-led by Blossom Capital with participation from Accel, which invested at seed in March.
