AI Coding Agent Firm Factory Raises $200M at $5B Valuation

Enterprise AI coding agent company Factory announced on September 16 that it has raised $200 million at a $5 billion valuation. According to The Wall Street Journal, the valuation has more than tripled in five months; the company's total funding now exceeds $400 million. Investors in this round include Blackstone, Khosla Ventures, Sequoia, Insight Partners, Evantic Capital, NEA, and Mantis VC.

Confirmed

• $200 million raised at a $5 billion post-money valuation, more than triple the April (five months ago) figure; total funding exceeds $400 million
• Customers include RBC, Adobe, Nvidia, T-Mobile, and Palo Alto Networks, with the company saying it serves hundreds of thousands of developers
• Funds will go toward R&D, product, and global sales expansion
