Valuation from $3.3B
$800M
Series C · 2026-07 · valuation $8.3B post (Series C, 2026-07) · led by Aramco Ventures
With: Vista Equity Partners, General Catalyst, Emergence Capital, NVIDIA, March Capital, Pegatron, SentinelOne's S Ventures · Lead of $800M Series C; other participants included Vista Equity Partners, General Catalyst, Emergence Capital, Nvidia, March Capital, Pegatron, SentinelOne's S Ventures

Series B · 2025-02 · valuation $3.3B post · led by General Catalyst, Prosperity7
With: Salesforce Ventures, NVIDIA, Kleiner Perkins, Coatue, Lux Capital
▸General Catalyst/Prosperity7 led the Series B, then Aramco Ventures led Series C — Middle East sovereign capital moving into GPU compute, betting on long-term strategic positioning rather than pure financial return
▸Valuation roughly 2.5x in 17 months ($3.3B to $8.3B) — a fast but not absurd pace; the next round or IPO will need to clear a higher bar
▸Customer list includes Cursor, Cognition, Decagon — some of the fastest-growing AI application companies — meaning Together has locked into a core supply-chain position 'selling shovels to the gold rush'

Signals & Risks
Editorial ✎
Good fit for
· Systems/infrastructure engineers who like grappling with GPU cluster scheduling and distributed training/inference frameworks
· People who want to work at the very top of the AI supply chain rather than chasing application-layer trends
· Those comfortable navigating a relationship with Nvidia and hyperscalers who are simultaneously suppliers and competitors
Not for
· Those who want to build consumer products and chase B2C growth stories — customers here are developers and enterprises, not consumers
· Those who can't tolerate hardware/supply-chain cyclicality — GPU procurement and delivery timing directly drives the business
Ask in the interview
1. When GPU supply (especially next-gen chips like Blackwell) hits delivery delays, how does the company handle customer churn and revenue volatility?
2. Where would specialized GPU clouds like CoreWeave, or hyperscalers building their own inference capacity, first erode Together's pricing power?
3. How concentrated is the $1B ARR among a handful of large customers (e.g. top AI application companies), and how big is that concentration risk?
