Circuit, an Austin-based company building an AI platform for manufacturing and service organizations, announced it has raised $30 million from individual investors. The funding comes as manufacturers face growing market and product complexity while a wave of retirements takes decades of expertise out the door.

The round includes backing from business leaders and experienced company builders who have built and scaled multi-billion-dollar organizations. Investors include Jim Breyer, Charlie Amato, Lew Cirne, Niccolo De Masi, Tom Long, Gary Petersen, Gary Rieschel, and Craig Robins.
