Instinct closed a $1 billion Series C led by Benchmark, Sequoia and Coatue at a $10 billion valuation — a 4x jump from its $250 million round at $2.5 billion just one month earlier. The startup has also detailed new offerings, including a concierge service for AI agents.
Commentary: a year ago Instinct might have already sold to Facebook, but today they are competitors of a sort in earning users' trust with email.
