. The round was co-led by Forerunner Ventures and Menlo Ventures, with participation from existing investors Andreessen Horowitz and First Round Capital, along with Better Tomorrow Ventures, Precedent.vc, Scribble Ventures, Serena Ventures and Sparked Ventures2

. The company has now raised at least $160 million to date, having previously secured a $55 million Series A round in June1

.

Founded by Jean-Denis Greze, former CTO of Plaid, Town targets businesses by providing each employee with a personalized AI assistant called a Townie1

. The rapid funding trajectory signals strong investor confidence in workplace AI integration solutions that prioritize team collaboration over individual productivity gains.

Collaborative AI Assistants Transform Team Workflows

Town differentiates itself in the crowded AI assistant market through its collaborative AI assistant approach. Each Townie connects to an employee's email, documents, calendar and core work systems, learning their relationships, projects and communication style2

2

. What sets Town apart is that these AI assistants that team up can now ask each other questions and hand off work between teammates2

2

. Each assistant shares only what its person would share, requests permission when needed, and brings decisions back to that person for approval.

Alongside the Series B funding announcement, Town introduced a shared workflow feature that automatically updates employees' Townies with new business information rather than requiring each worker to manually update their own assistant1

. When one team updates a process, such as how sales representatives prepare for calls, every rep's Townie picks up the change automatically2

2

. Townies can also work with customers, partners and candidates outside the company through email and text communication2

"AI has made each of us faster on our own. Now, it can make teams faster together," said Jean-Denis Greze, co-founder and CEO of Town2

Explosive Growth Since Public Launch

Town's growth metrics underscore why it attracted such significant Series B funding so quickly. The AI assistant startup reached seven figures in annual recurring revenue within weeks of its June 2026 public launch2

2

. Since July, paying customers have grown fourfold while paying teams have expanded ninefold2

2

. Thousands of businesses now use Townies daily, according to Greze and co-founder Tony Vincent2

2

.

Shawn Carolan, a partner at Menlo Ventures, noted his firm backed Siri in 2008 and said Town had chosen business over pleasure, indicating the startup's focus on enterprise applications rather than consumer entertainment2

2

. This strategic positioning matters as businesses increasingly seek AI solutions that integrate seamlessly into existing workflows while maintaining data privacy and security standards.

Data Privacy and AI Model Flexibility

Addressing critical concerns around workplace AI integration, Town emphasizes that each customer owns the context its Townies build and can take that data if they leave the platform2

2

. By default, Town does not use anything a customer connects to train AI models2

2

. The company uses AI models from major labs and selects the appropriate one for each task, ensuring customers aren't locked into a single provider2

2

. Town is SOC 2 Type 2 compliant and publicly shares its data processing agreement2

.

Watch for how Town's collaborative approach influences the broader AI assistant market. As enterprises demand solutions that enhance team coordination rather than just individual productivity, competitors will likely pivot toward similar shared workflow capabilities. The company's rapid path to unicorn valuation suggests investors believe collaborative AI assistants represent the next evolution in workplace technology, moving beyond simple task automation to genuine team intelligence augmentation.
