Town's AI assistants for every employee hit a $1B+ valuation in four months
· 1 min read · Drafted with AI help, reviewed by Kepler Oates
Four months after launching publicly, Town, a San Francisco startup that gives every employee their own AI assistant, has raised a $108 million Series B at a unicorn valuation, TechCrunch reports. "Unicorn" means $1 billion or more; Town did not disclose the exact figure.
What Town does
An assistant per person. Each employee gets an AI assistant called a Townie, which connects to email, calendars and other core work tools.
Assistants that talk to each other. Townies can share approved information with each other, and can now also work with customers and people outside the company.
Shared updates. A new feature pushes fresh business information to everyone's Townie automatically, so workers do not have to keep their own assistant up to date.
Who is behind it. Town is two years old and was founded by Jean-Denis Greze, previously the chief technology officer of the fintech company Plaid.
The money
InteractiveTown's funding so farHover or tap a bar.
Lead investors: Forerunner Ventures and Menlo Ventures, with Andreessen Horowitz, Serena Ventures and First Round Capital also joining.
Revenue: Town says it reached "millions of dollars in annual recurring revenue in a matter of weeks." That is the company's own claim, and it gave no exact number or user count.
What we don't know
The exact valuation.
Pricing, and how many companies use it.
How it handles security for assistants that can read your email and share information. TechCrunch notes Town is one of many AI assistants flooding the market.
Why it matters
Investors are betting that the next big work tool is not an app you open but an assistant that works across all of them. For anyone running a small business or side hustle, the practical version is simple: before paying for an AI assistant, write down the three tasks you most want off your plate, and test whether it actually does those.
