TypeSafe AI has raised $870 million at a $7.5 billion valuation in a Series A round led by Andreessen Horowitz, with participation from Sequoia Capital and existing investor DCVC.
Martin Casado of Andreessen Horowitz will join the company’s board.
Founded in 2024, TypeSafe develops Jev, an AI model designed to make decisions for software systems rather than generate conversational text. The company says a third of Fortune 500 companies are already using the model, which launched on September 15, 2026.
Key Highlights
- Funding: $870 million at a $7.5 billion valuation.
- Investors: Andreessen Horowitz, Sequoia Capital and DCVC.
- Enterprise adoption: TypeSafe says a third of Fortune 500 companies use Jev.
- Expansion: The company plans to hire staff, increase computing capacity, develop more machine-focused models and add enterprise features.
Jev Targets Software Automation
Although Jev uses a transformer architecture, TypeSafe says it is not a large language model. It returns probabilities the company calls “calibrated decisions,” designed for tasks such as classifying data, routing customer requests and managing automated workflows.
TypeSafe argues that this approach can reduce processing time and token use compared with generating text for similar tasks. These performance claims have not been independently established in the supplied sources.
The company was founded by former OpenAI researcher Diogo Almeida, former Meta research engineer Sasha Sheng, and entrepreneur Erik Gafni.
Funding to Support Growth
TypeSafe plans to use the funding to expand its team, secure more computing capacity and develop additional models for machine-driven tasks.
Almeida told Bloomberg that the company is profitable after expenses. TypeSafe has not disclosed its revenue.
The new funding gives the startup more resources to compete in the AI market, where developers are exploring specialized models designed to automate tasks rather than simply generate text.
