How much has Cerebras raised?

Cerebras has raised $1b+ before ipo; public-company capital now market-based according to public reporting used for this profile. The underlying rounds are: 2016: Series A — $27M led by Benchmark, Foundation and Eclipse. 2019: Series E — Over $270M at $2.4B valuation. 2021: Series F — $250M at over $4B valuation.

Where a company has debt, cloud credits, strategic compute commitments, or reported rounds not yet confirmed by company filings, those items are described directionally rather than folded into a false precise equity total.

Cerebras's public backers and strategic supporters vary by round. The source set for this profile should be treated as the audit trail for the named leads, because many AI companies have fast-changing secondary-market, strategic, and debt financing reports.

Cerebras's valuation is tied to AI demand, product adoption, model or infrastructure scarcity, and investor appetite for the category. For private companies, valuation changes are also affected by round structure, strategic compute access, revenue quality, and whether the latest figure is a primary round, secondary sale, debt facility, or media report.

Cerebras has not publicly disclosed audited profitability in the way a mature public company would, unless noted in the status field. IPO timing is not assumed here; the profile only treats an IPO as real when filings or public-market reports support it.

Cerebras's funding profile suggests how to route sales motion. A heavily funded AI infrastructure or model company can have budget for compute, security, data, developer tooling, procurement, and go-to-market systems, but the deal usually needs a technical champion plus finance/procurement approval.
