San Francisco AI startup Writer announced a $200 million Series C funding, with a valuation soaring to $1.9 billion, four times its valuation in September last year. The round of financing was led by technology giants such as Salesforce, Adobe, and Citi and venture capital firms, demonstrating investors' confidence in Writer AI solutions. Writer plans to use the funds to further develop its AI applications in the medical, retail and financial services sectors, with the goal of creating a safe, reliable and adaptable next-generation autonomous AI system to meet the needs of complex enterprise scenarios. This huge financing also reflects the booming trend of the artificial intelligence market and the growing demand for AI-driven solutions from enterprises.
Writer will use the funding to further refine its AI solutions and expand its applications in healthcare, retail and financial services. The company's ambitious goal is to become a top-notch enterprise in the field of AI and provide customers with more advanced and reliable AI technologies. Writer's success stories and strong investor lineup indicate that it will occupy an important position in the future artificial intelligence market, and it is worth looking forward to its subsequent development.
"We need not only create LLMs that can perform tasks, but also develop advanced AI systems that can accomplish mission-critical enterprises," said May Habib, CEO and co-founder of Writer. With this new funding, we will focus on delivering next-generation autonomous AI solutions that are safe, reliable and adaptable in highly complex real-life enterprise scenarios.
Writer is valued at $1.9 billion, four times the company's $500 million valuation in September 2023.

The company's customer list includes Ally Bank, Qualcomm, Salesforce, Uber, etc.
According to Statista, the global artificial intelligence market size is US$184 billion in 2024. In 2023, AI startups are valued at 20% higher than non-AI companies that raise seed funds. At the B round of financing level, AI startups are valued nearly 60% higher. AI vendors are rapidly releasing enterprise-level solutions as companies compete to add GenAI capabilities.
