Andreessen Horowitz provenance is included where public. Other investors and strategic backers are listed only when named in the cited public sources.

The latest valuation signal is: Valued at $1B in 2023; later Google licensing deal reported at $2.7B for technology/talent rights. If no current valuation is public, seller teams should use stage, hiring, product momentum, and funding recency instead of a made-up number.

Profitability is not publicly disclosed unless the company is public. No IPO timing is assumed without a company filing or announcement.

For sellers, the capital signal points to budget around the current strategic priorities: product scale, compliance, security, infrastructure, data, operations, and go-to-market execution.
