Notes

San Francisco company founded by three former OpenAI researchers that builds custom reinforcement-learning agents for enterprises: it post-trains a model against a customer's own data and workflows and runs the result on its own Agent Cloud. The $3.25B is the post-money the company itself states on a $350M round announced 2026-11-02 and led by the angel investor Elad Gil, with Kleiner Perkins, Lux Capital, Hanabi Capital, NVIDIA, Blackstone, Shopify Ventures and HubSpot Ventures named as participants, up from the $1.3B post-money of an $80M Kleiner Perkins round in April 2026; Latham & Watkins, which advised on the financing, dated its own release 2026-11-03, and Forbes had reported the same $350M at the same $3.25B as talks on 2026-09-02. The company says annualised revenue run rate passed $100M in under 18 months from founding, and the money goes on compute, hiring and enterprise deployment. Its own case studies name NVIDIA as a post-training collaborator and Harvey, Microsoft and DoorDash as customers; those are commercial relationships rather than supply-chain ties under this map's rules, so the NVIDIA cheque is the edge. Every page on appliedcompute.com is egress-blocked to this sandbox, so the round rests on a domain-restricted search of the company's own site plus press accounts.
