The artificial intelligence revolution is just beginning, and at the heart of this transformation lies the infrastructure that powers it. At General Catalyst, we seek to partner with companies that not only push the boundaries of technology but also shape the ecosystem in ways that empower developers, enterprises, and researchers alike. That’s why we’re thrilled to invest in Together AI, a company redefining what it means to be a full stack infrastructure platform in the AI era.

Why Together AI?

Generative AI has unlocked massive opportunities, but its potential remains constrained by closed ecosystems and incomplete tooling. The world needs an alternative to monolithic AI infrastructure—one that is transparent, flexible, and accessible. Together AI provides exactly that.

By offering an open and distributed AI cloud, Together AI is democratizing access to cutting-edge generative AI models while enabling businesses to build, fine-tune, and deploy models efficiently. Unlike traditional AI cloud providers, which often require deep technical expertise and heavy investment, Together AI’s cost-efficient, scalable platform dramatically reduces the friction associated with running and training large models.

In Vipul and his team, we found an ambitious vision married with relentless execution - our conviction in the platform only grew as we observed their rotation into larger and longer enterprise contracts while continuing to scale their world-class team.

A New Paradigm for AI Development & Deployment

Together AI is pioneering a new paradigm: AI infrastructure that combines the best of open-source innovation with enterprise-grade performance. The platform provides over 200 generative AI models, enabling developers to experiment, customize, and deploy at scale. This shift towards openness aligns with our core belief that AI should not be controlled by a handful of players—it should be accessible, adaptable, and optimized for real-world applications. 

It also helps bridge the AI deployment gap that we have observed in the market to date; by offering intuitive interfaces, robust API integrations, and scalable computing solutions, Together AI makes it easier for enterprises to seamlessly integrate AI into their workflows. This enables companies—from startups to Fortune 500 firms like Salesforce, Zoom, and Mozilla—to harness the power of generative AI without needing extensive in-house expertise, accelerating innovation and unlocking new efficiencies.

In addition to its distributed cloud architecture, Together AI has cultivated an ecosystem of collaboration. By engaging deeply with the research community and supporting organizations seeking high-performance AI solutions, it has positioned itself as the backbone of the next wave of AI breakthroughs and a key convening platform for the growing open source AI ecosystem.

Looking Ahead

At General Catalyst, we invest in companies that redefine industries and challenge the status quo. Together AI represents everything we believe in—bold vision, strong execution, and a deep commitment to openness and innovation. We’re excited to support their journey and help shape the future of AI infrastructure and Applied AI.
