Town完成1.08亿美元B轮，估值达10亿美元
旧金山AI助手初创公司Town于周一宣布完成1.08亿美元B轮融资，估值达到10亿美元，由Forerunner Ventures与Menlo Ventures共同领投，Andreessen Horowitz、First Round Capital、Serena Ventures等参投。公司在6月完成5500万美元A轮后，累计融资约1.6亿美元。Town由前Plaid首席技术官Jean-Denis Greze与Tony Vincent共同创立，为每位员工配备名为Townie的AI助手，可连接邮件、文档、日历及核心业务系统；本轮融资期间，Townie从个人扩展到团队，助手之间可以互相提问、交接工作，并按权限共享信息，团队还可共享工作流程。Town称客户拥有Townie积累的上下文并可带走，默认不使用客户数据训练模型，而是按任务选用多家AI实验室的模型；公司还称上线数周内年度经常性收入达到七位数，自7月以来付费客户增长四倍、付费团队增长九倍（均为公司说法）。
按公司说法，此轮融资使其累计融资约1.6亿美元，而Town正押注“每位员工一个智能体、并在团队间共享上下文”的企业助手形态能成为日常办公的基础工具。
Town, a San Francisco startup that gives each person at work an AI work assistant, has raised $108m in a Series B that values it at $1bn. Forerunner Ventures and Menlo Ventures co-led the round, the company announced on Monday.
Existing investors a16z and First Round Capital took part, along with Better Tomorrow Ventures, Precedent.vc, Scribble Ventures, Serena Ventures and Sparked Ventures. Angel investors include Brendan Foody, Josh Silverman, Romain Huet, Scott Belsky, Steve Bartel, Taro Fukuyama and Varun Anand.
