co-led by @MarathonMP and @chemistry, with participation from @Wing_VC, @AMD Ventures, @outsetcap, @fiftyyears, and @ycombinator, and our existing investors doubling down on @wafer_ai. we are also joined by an incredible list of angels, including @JeffDean (CEO, @DiscoLoopAI), @rauchg (CEO, @vercel), @andyfang (CTO, @DoorDash), @kvogt (CEO, Bot), @akothari (COO, @NotionHQ), @eastdakota (CEO, @Cloudflare), @deepgramscott (CEO, @DeepgramAI), and more!
Most inference optimization today is manual, service-heavy, and done one-time before deployment. Wafer’s vision is AI that optimizes AI. Wafer continuously learns from your workload’s traffic patterns and performance constraints, then finds the optimal deployment across model, engine, kernels, and hardware.
This capital helps us accelerate automating more of the inference optimization loop, giving every deployment the leverage of an expert inference-performance team that continuously finds ways to improve performance per dollar.
Thank you to the customers who trusted us with their workloads, the partners who built alongside us, the investors who believed in our mission, and the Wafer team members who have worked tirelessly to turn this vision into reality.

I'm super excited to share that we have raised $250M at a $2.3B valuation to build a LOT more AI compute capacity in orbit 🚀
Thanks so much to our supporters, including Manhattan West, who led the round, and new investors, @NVIDIA, @Cisco_Invests, @CedarCapital, Goanna Capital, and @Standard_Cap, as well as continued investment from existing backers @Benchmark, @EQTVentures, @Soma_Capital, @NFX, @SevenSevenSix, and others.

This is just the beginning! @EzraFeilden, @AdiOltean🏃🏻➡️🏃🏻➡️🏃🏻➡️
We’re very excited to announce that we are leading @harmonyio_’s $34M seed round.
Harmony is helping reshape enterprise service management by giving every employee an always-on agent that acts as an expert for every service request, inside the tools they already use.
Their AI agents aim to resolve work directly in Slack and Teams, drawing on a context graph that connects each employee's identity, devices, applications, and work history.
“Harmony is helping drive a fundamental shift in how employee support is delivered, moving from a model built around tickets and queues to one powered by AI agents that resolve requests instantly and at scale,” said Lightspeed Partner @YoniCheifetz.
Congratulations to @nitzanshapira, @ranrib, and the entire team on the round!
