ASX-listed Decidr AI Industries has its eyes on international expansion and to strengthen its positioning in agentic AI for SMEs. It has just announced it has raised $20 million through an institutional placement.
Built on research into human behaviour, Decidr sells itself as ‘an operating system that creates and executes smart, goal-oriented strategies by leveraging horizontally integrated AI agents’.
The placement saw 22,222,223 new shares issued at $0.90. That figure represents a 4.3% discount to the last close, but a 27.6% premium to the 30-day VWAP.
Post-placement dilution sits at 9.7%, with settlement due on 26 September and trading to commence on 29 September. The raise was described as “strongly supported” by both new and existing institutional investors.
Expansion strategy
The funding will go toward accelerating rollout of DecidrOS, the company’s core agentic infrastructure, alongside onboarding of pre-signed global clients and partners. A significant portion of the capital will also back the build of the Agentic Graph, a proprietary data model designed to help organisations automate operations.
Executive chairman David Brudenell said the raise reflects growing interest in AI solutions that move beyond generative AI hype and into operational impact.
“This raise reflects the strong momentum Decidr is building through our global partnerships, growing customer base, and expanding agentic ecosystem.
“The support from institutional investors allows us to accelerate global growth and fast-track the creation of the Agentic Graph: the foundation of AI-native organisations. It’s a major step in delivering on our vision to power the Agentic Economy,” he said.
Decidr’s platform is already being deployed by brands including CareerOne, eBev, Go1, ELMO, Edible Beauty, AIM and Growth Faculty across Australia and the US. The company says the raise will help scale those deployments and drive international uptake.
