Town, maker of AI assistants called Townies, tops The Information's 50 Most Promising Startups 2026 list in the Enterprise Apps & B2B category at an $892M valuation — a list that previously featured Cursor and Grafana before they broke out.
Key facts: founded 2024 with just 41 employees; founders Jean-Denis Greze and Tony Vincent; backed by Forerunner Ventures, Menlo Ventures, Andreessen Horowitz and First Round Capital. Power users lean on Townies for communication-heavy roles like sales and investing, and Greze argues any role full of easy-but-abundant work is a fit.
