Help IT consulting firms ship to their clients so they bring you deals
Accenture invested twice in six months; several integrators invest and partner

What they did
Instead of acquiring companies, Lyzr treats system integrators as its 'inorganic growth': several invest in Lyzr and partner with it because Lyzr helps them ship agents to production for their end customers. Accenture, the world's largest IT services provider, invested twice in six months (Accenture Ventures joined the Series A). The guest's rule: if you make your partner win, they build the pipeline and bring the demand.

Accenture invested twice in six months; guest says partners build pipeline (no numbers)
- Stage
- 2025-2026
“We have several other system integrators investing in Lyzr and also partnering with us because we help them ship agents that can go to production for their end customer. So that is inorganic growth for us, right? If you make your partner win, they will take care of building the pipeline for you, bringing in the demand.”
“Which is why we had Accenture invest in us twice in six months, and they are the world's largest IT services provider.”
