TL;DR we raised $$$ and we’re going to make sure it shows up as benefits to y’all 🫶

We’ve raised a really big series A¹ led by Andreessen Horowitz, with participation from Sequoia Capital, existing investor DCVC, and the tech illuminati (aka a bunch of the best angel investors).

We find fundraising announcements incredibly boring, so we want to be straightforward with what this means for all of you…

For developers

  • We intend to take all of the things you love about Jev to the extreme

  • There will be even more machine-native models

  • And we’ll be providing everything else to be the best infrastructure for building smart software

For businesses

  • A third of the Fortune 500 are getting their Jev on

  • We’ve saved customers millions of dollars in production already

  • We’ll be adding all the enterprise features you’ve been asking us for

For potential recruits

For everyone: We care so much about making AI that actually works, and we’re so excited to be interacting with all of you. We’ve changed the path of AI, and we intend to keep cooking.
