Infinity, a startup building infrastructure for artificial intelligence, has closed a $15 million funding round that values the company at $100 million. The investment was led by Touring Capital, with participation from researchers at OpenAI and Anthropic.
What Infinity does
The company focuses on the underlying systems that AI models rely on — think data pipelines, compute orchestration, and model deployment tools. It's a crowded space, but Infinity's pitch appears to have resonated with both venture investors and the technical teams building the most advanced AI systems today.
Who's backing it
Touring Capital, a firm that specializes in deep tech and infrastructure, led the round. The involvement of individual researchers from OpenAI and Anthropic — two of the most prominent AI labs — signals that Infinity's technology is being tested or used by people who understand the pain points firsthand. Neither lab itself invested; the money came from researchers in their personal capacity.
What the money is for
Infinity plans to use the fresh capital to expand its engineering team and accelerate product development. The startup hasn't disclosed specific customers or revenue figures, but the $100 million valuation suggests investors see a path to capturing a slice of the fast-growing AI infrastructure market.
The company is expected to announce a public beta of its platform later this quarter. Whether it can carve out a niche against established players like Nvidia's DGX Cloud and startups like CoreWeave remains an open question.
