About the Company
- Exa is building the search engine for AIs.
- We raised a $250M Series C to build the search engine for AIs.
- Led by a16z, with existing investors Benchmark, Lightspeed, and YC doubling down, the round brings Exa's valuation to $2.2 billion.
- We build massive-scale infrastructure to crawl the web, train state-of-the-art embedding models to process it, and design super high performant vector databases in rust to search over it.
- We own a $5M H200 GPU cluster (and soon 5x'ing that) and regularly spin up batchjobs with tens of thousands of machines.
- We are rapidly building the most intelligent search engine in history.
- We’re high agency, low-ego, and united by the feeling that this is one of the last problems worth getting right.
