Temporal raises $550M at a $12.55B valuation
Workflow orchestration platform Temporal has raised $550 million in a Series E funding round, reaching a valuation of $12.55 billion. The company aims to provide reliable infrastructure for long-running AI agents and complex enterprise systems.
Why it matters
As enterprises shift from simple AI demos to long-running autonomous agents, the need for robust, fault-tolerant backend infrastructure has become a critical bottleneck for adoption.
Just a year ago, most of the systems we talked about with our customers were familiar. Things like payments, onboarding, and fulfillment. Now, the stakes are higher. Customers are asking to run agents that work for days, weeks, or months, and this is becoming the new normal. When the scale changes this much and the work runs this long, how do you keep it reliable?
This funding round is what helps us continue to solve that problem.
Today we're excited to announce a $550M Series E at a $12.55B valuation , co-led by Lightspeed, with Wellington Management, Growth Equity at Goldman Sachs Alternatives, and Tiger Global, with strong participation from T. Rowe Price and SV Angel. Returning investors include a16z, Sequoia, Index, GIC, Sapphire Ventures, and Amplify.
