# Liner Secures $36.1 Million Series C Funding Liner AI Liner AI _"From B2C to B2B AX, Establishing Status as a 'Global AI Agent'"_ Liner AI 25, 2026 [(GLOBE NEWSWIRE)](https://www.globenewswire.com/) -- Global AI agent startup Liner (CEO Luke Kim) announced on August 25th that it has raised $36.1 million in a Series C funding round. The financing reflects investor confidence in Liner's expansion from consumer AI into enterprise AI. The round was led by LB Investment, with existing core shareholders including InterVest, Atinum Investment, and CJ Investment participating in follow-on investments. New investors joining the round include Korea Development Bank (KDB), KB Securities, Daishin Securities, STIC Ventures, and Helios Private Equity. Amid a broader market correction and tightening diligence across the AI industry, existing backers from earlier rounds maintained their stakes or doubled down on their investments to support Liner's long-term valuation. A prime example is its partnership with HUMAIN, a state-backed Saudi Arabian AI corporation chaired by Crown Prince Mohammed bin Salman. Through these initiatives, Liner aims to diversify monetization models for its core B2C services and optimize its agent technologies for the domestic market, positioning itself as an accessible, everyday AI service for the general public. Those milestones attracted $36.1M million in new funding. It serves as a strategic foundation to secure world-class infrastructure and top global talent, both of which are essential to anchoring reliability, the ultimate core of any AI agent.
