About
Cohere was founded in Toronto in 2019 by Aidan Gomez, Ivan Zhang and Nick Frosst to provide natural-language models to developers and enterprises through an API. When Zhang spoke at TechTO in October 2021, the company had just raised a US$40M Series A led by Index Ventures and Section 32, with early backing from Radical Ventures, and was about to open its platform.
Cohere has moved a long way from that Series A. It reported US$240M in annual recurring revenue for 2025, and in April 2026 announced it would combine with the German AI company Aleph Alpha — a transatlantic entity valued at roughly US$20B, with Schwarz Group, the retailer behind Lidl, putting up about €500M (~US$600M) in structured financing as lead investor in Cohere's Series E. Cohere shareholders would hold about 90% of the combined company. As of this review the deal had been announced but not closed: it is subject to regulatory and shareholder approval.
Backers
Radical Ventures (seed); Index Ventures and Section 32 led the Series A.
