Partly raises Series B to bring frontier AI to the repair industry

Austin, TX, 15 June 2026. Partly today announced the close of a $50M Series B funding round led by DST Global, the international investment firm whose portfolio includes Facebook, Twitter, Alibaba, Airbnb, Klarna, Nubank, and ByteDance. The raise is one of the largest Series B rounds in enterprise AI globally and positions Partly as the defining infrastructure company for the automotive repair sector, a $48 billion US market alone that has operated without AI-native infrastructure for its entire history.

DST Global has a singular track record of identifying the infrastructure companies that become indispensable at global scale. Its portfolio reads as a map of the platforms the modern world runs on. Its decision to lead Partly's Series B places Partly in that category, a powerful signal from one of the most disciplined and consequential investors in technology that the automotive repair sector is about to be transformed, and that Partly is the company that will do it.

The reason DST backed Partly is the same reason no other company in the world can replicate what Partly has built: Interpreter, the world's only Frontier AI purpose-built for automotive parts, delivering unparalleled accuracy and enabling precision automation across an industry losing billions of dollars every year in operational leakage from poor data and manual workflows.

Building Frontier AI for a specific industry vertical is not a software project. It is a years-long accumulation of proprietary data, domain expertise, and machine learning infrastructure that compounds over time and becomes exponentially harder to replicate as it grows. Interpreter is the result of five years of model training on OEM catalog and repair data for more than 56 brands. Additionally, it has been continuously trained on live transaction data from thousands of users across Partly's international network in New Zealand, Australia, the United Kingdom, and the Nordics, incorporating real-world feedback loops that make the model more accurate with every transaction it processes.

"We have spent five years building the infrastructure layer that the automotive repair industry has been missing. Interpreter is not a feature. It is the Frontier AI that makes AI-native automation possible for this sector for the first time, and it is ours. The DST investment means we can now deploy it at the scale the global market demands. The US is first."

Partly is already scaling across Australia, NZ, United Kingdom, and the Nordics. The $50M Series B funds the full-scale North American market entry, the enterprise team build-out, and the continued development and training of Interpreter, Partly's Frontier AI for repair.
