Lyzr is closing a roughly $100M Series B at about a $500M valuation, and it ran the raise with one of its own agents. The bot fielded queries from 130+ investors, drafted dozens of investment memos, and drew about $400M in interest. This is the cleanest "the product replaced the workflow" proof I've seen. Not support, not SDR outreach, but fundraising ops, one of the highest-stakes knowledge-work jobs there is. The "do agents actually do real work" debate just got a live, uncomfortable data point.
