I’m excited to share that WorkOS has raised $100 million in Series C financing, valuing the company at $2 billion. The round was led by Meritech Capital and Sapphire Ventures, with participation from Audacious Ventures, Craft Ventures, Abstract, Greenoaks, and others. The fastest-growing AI companies already use WorkOS, including OpenAI, Anthropic, xAI, Cursor, Perplexity, Sierra, Baseten, fal, Replit, Vercel, Synthesia, Temporal Technologies, Gamma, Clay, Exa, Parallel Web Systems, Serval, and many more. These teams hit enterprise requirements almost immediately. From day one, buyers expect SSO, SCIM, permissions, and auditability. WorkOS makes that possible. We are entering a golden era for builders. As the marginal cost of writing code drops toward zero, we’re seeing a wave of new software. More code is being written than ever before, and demand is rising just as quickly as companies race to adopt AI. The software lifecycle has compressed and what used to take years now take months, weeks, or even hours. Next come agents. In the near future, much of the software running inside organizations won’t be operated directly by people at all. Yet every action will still need to be authenticated, authorized, and auditable. As intelligence becomes abundant and software becomes autonomous, trust becomes the constraint. WorkOS was built for this moment. We began with authentication and have expanded into a broader platform that includes granular permissions, integrations, encryption, abuse detection, feature flags, MCP, and more. We’ve invested heavily in reliability and scale, with five nines of uptime across thousands of customers and billions of API requests each month. This new funding allows us to accelerate the next phase: building what’s needed to make agentic software secure and reliable by default. Whether you’re vibe coding a weekend project or shipping an AI product to the largest organizations in the world, you can build faster and safer with WorkOS. AI is changing what software can do. WorkOS makes it secure, scalable, and Enterprise Ready. The only question left is: what will you build?

Tiered pricing within a single funding round isn’t new. But it is becoming standard practice in AI, and the intent is worth naming. Lead investors buy in at one price, everyone else pays more, and the company gets to call itself a unicorn. The lead investor paid nowhere near that. The strategy is designed to signal market dominance before the product has earned it. I think it’s an empty tactic. Valuation has very little impact on whether customers love your product and keep using it. The only thing that does is how close founders are to their customers while building, and whether that proximity actually produces a better product. That’s it. Everything else is noise you generate while not doing that. Link: https://lnkd.in/edgWXSu4
