Town Hits Unicorn Status With $108M Series B Four Months After Launch
Town reached a unicorn valuation with a $108 million Series B just four months after launch, as its workplace AI assistants posted rapid revenue growth.
Summary
Town, a two-year-old San Francisco AI assistant startup founded by former Plaid CTO Jean-Denis Greze, announced a $108 million Series B on Monday, October 19, 2026, reaching a unicorn valuation four months after its public launch. Forerunner Ventures and Menlo Ventures co-led the round, with Andreessen Horowitz, Serena Ventures and First Round Capital participating. Town has raised at least $160 million, including a $55 million Series A announced in June, and says annual recurring revenue reached millions of dollars within weeks of launch.
Town gives each employee an AI assistant called a Townie, which connects to email, calendars and other core work systems. Townies can communicate with one another, share approved information and work with customers or other people outside the company. A newly announced shared workflow automatically distributes updated business information across employees’ Townies, replacing individual updates. Town competes in a crowded AI assistant market, while its exact valuation, revenue and customer totals remain undisclosed.
