# Prime Intellect raises $130M Series A at $1B valuation for enterprise AI agent infrastructure

> Prime Intellect has raised a $130 million Series A at a $1 billion valuation, led by Radical Ventures with Nvidia Ventures, Intel Capital, Dell and Iconiq joining, plus angels from Perplexity, Box and Cognition. The company sells a full-stack platform for enterprises that want to build their own AI agents, bundling compute, reinforcement-learning frameworks, evaluation tools and a modular marketplace. Founded in 2024, it already reports a $100 million annualized revenue run rate and customers including Ramp and Zapier. Its favorite proof point is that an agent Ramp built on the platform beat frontier models on accuracy while costing less, a pitch aimed squarely at companies wary of renting intelligence from a single vendor. Hitting a billion-dollar valuation this fast underscores where enterprise money is flowing: not toward another chatbot, but toward the tooling that lets a company own and tune its own agents. The interesting tension is whether in-house agents built on open components can keep pace with the frontier labs' rapid releases.
