We're building foundational AI models that enterprises can actually trust and deploy. Founded in Toronto in 2019, our team of researchers, engineers, and problem-solvers is focused on a simple but ambitious goal: scaling intelligence to serve humanity. We believe AI's real purpose isn't to replace people - it's to enhance what humans can do. That's why we obsess over building secure, private models that help businesses turn everyday work into extraordinary outcomes.
Since starting, we've raised nearly $1 billion across funding rounds and grown to hundreds of people worldwide, but we've never lost sight of what matters. Our research initiative, Cohere Labs, has published over 100 papers and built a community of 4,500+ researchers pushing the field forward. We're not chasing hype - we're building practical AI solutions that real companies use to solve real problems, from semantic search to content generation to customer experience. Most of us came from the research world, so we know the difference between a flashy demo and technology that actually works in production.
