# Prime Intellect Raises $130M Series A at $1B Valuation

> Prime Intellect has raised a $130 million Series A at a $1 billion valuation, led by Radical Ventures with participation from NVIDIA, Intel Capital and Dell Technologies. The round vaults the company into unicorn territory on the strength of real traction: it reports over $100 million in annualized revenue and around 6,000 customers, including well-known names like Ramp and Zapier. The product is a full-stack platform for building and training agentic AI systems, and the pitch is independence. Prime Intellect lets enterprises develop their own agents without leaning on a frontier lab's closed models, which is increasingly attractive to companies wary of depending on a single provider for something this strategic. The significance is where the money is flowing in this cycle. Investors are backing not just the labs that make models but the picks-and-shovels layer that helps everyone else build on top of them. A strategic chipmaker like NVIDIA joining the round underscores how valuable the tooling that keeps developers productive has become.
