Together AI didn’t get that memo.
Launched in 2023, Together AI emerged from stealth mode and scaled to a staggering $3.3 billion valuation in just 30 months. It did so not just with strong technical chops — offering a platform for building custom, open-source AI models — but by breaking conventional startup rules around positioning, messaging, and go-to-market (GTM) strategy. t’s clear that the next wave of AI innovation may not come from the biggest labs — but from the challengers who dare to think differently.
