Singapore, January 21, 2026 — Marking a significant leap forward for AI-powered business solutions, Simplex AI today announced it has raised $6 million in funding from GL Ventures to fast-track the launch of Lev8, its flagship real-time people intelligence platform. Built to help sales teams, recruiters, founders, and investors uncover high-value prospects at the perfect moment, Lev8 turns the open web into a dynamic, actionable intelligence engine—reimagining how modern teams identify and engage with decision-makers, top talent, and strategic partners.
In a market where traditional databases become obsolete the instant they’re published, Simplex AI offers a radical alternative: live signal intelligence paired with natural language search, allowing users to shift from manual research to precision outreach in an instant.
At the core of Lev8 lies its intent-driven neural search engine. Users simply describe their target person in plain language—for example, “Find a Bay Area CTO who has scaled fintech infrastructure and recently moved from a major bank.” Instead of just matching keywords, Lev8 interprets the underlying meaning of the request, delivering deeply relevant results aligned with true user intent. This robust search capability lets teams operate more strategically, eliminating the need to manually refine filters or chase incomplete lead data.
Lev8 also provides a powerful edge through real-time professional and company signals. Rather than waiting for profile updates or database refresh cycles, the platform continuously monitors the web for meaningful changes—such as leadership transitions, product launches, team expansions, funding news, or strategic pivots. These signals reveal high-intent timing windows, enabling teams to initiate conversations when they’re most likely to convert.
To boost outreach success rates, Lev8 enriches each profile with contextual engagement insights, synthesizing public information into a clear picture of what matters most to that professional right now. The result is smarter, more relevant conversations that feel genuine rather than transactional. This supports modern growth across lead enrichment, lead scoring, outbound sales, talent outreach, and emerging startup discovery.
Behind the scenes, Lev8 is powered by state-of-the-art (SOTA) models, combining machine-level speed with human-level research depth. This AI infrastructure performs deep web discovery and analysis, delivering results at a significantly lower cost compared to traditional research or executive search workflows.
“Drop the details. We’ll deliver the fit,” added Tony Zhang, Simplex AI’s CEO. “Our goal is to remove friction from how global teams discover and connect with the people who shape their success.”
By transforming scattered online information into structured, actionable intelligence, the company positions Lev8 not just as another sourcing tool, but as a new category of real-time people discovery infrastructure. With momentum building in AI-powered sales and recruiting, Simplex AI stands out for its focus on precision, speed, and insight-led human connection. As markets shift and timing becomes critical, Lev8 helps teams stay ahead of the people who matter most.
