Enterprise AI adoption is gated by legacy mainframes and human trust, not model capability, says Stu's CEO after its $52.5M raise.

• $52.5M Series B closed fast: Stu raised its round in about 24 hours led by Insight Partners (with A16Z, Microsoft, Activant, Coastal Ventures), lifting total funding to $93M just 10 months after its Series A.
• Customer growth 8x: Stu went from a handful of Series A customers to 150+, roughly 8x-ing customer count monthly, while serving Honeywell, Vodafone, Bishop Lifting, and others.
