A larger valuation and broad investor group

FuriosaAI said it closed a $620 million Series D at an approximately $2.9 billion post-money valuation.[1] That is about four times the $735 million valuation in its previous round last year.[2] The National Growth Fund invested $280 million, making it the round’s largest investor.[1] Infinitum was the largest international investor, while other international participants included Cisco Investments, NeoFort Holding, Jericho Capital and Worldline Capital.[1] Existing shareholders added $125 million in follow-on investments.[1]

Public and existing backers join

FuriosaAI’s three original seed investors—NAVER, DSC Investment and KDB Capital—also participated in the financing.[1] The Export-Import Bank of Korea selected FuriosaAI for its first direct investment in a startup.[1] UAMCO committed $30 million.[1] Together, these details show participation from existing backers and Korean institutions alongside international investors; the evidence does not specify the investment amounts for most participants.[1] For financing teams, the announced amounts distinguish the National Growth Fund’s position as largest overall investor from Infinitum’s position as largest international investor.[1]

Capital tied to production plans

FuriosaAI says it will use the proceeds to expand RNGD production, strengthen its software ecosystem and accelerate development of its third-generation accelerator.[1] The company expected to produce 20,000 RNGD accelerators in 2026 and planned to increase production to more than 40,000 units in 2027.[1] RNGD entered mass production in January 2026.[1] These figures are company expectations and plans, not reported production results.[1] Teams assessing supply should distinguish the stated production targets from confirmed output.

Existing deployments and product claims

FuriosaAI develops AI accelerators for data-center inference.[1] Samsung SDS launched a commercial NPU-as-a-service offering powered by RNGD in July, while LG Group runs its EXAONE deployments on the accelerator.[1] Upstage uses RNGD to provide live search summarization to millions of users.[1] FuriosaAI says RNGD matches the throughput of Nvidia’s RTX PRO 6000 at the same card count and serves twice as many users per kilowatt of power.[3] Those performance comparisons are company claims; the evidence does not provide independent test results.[3]

For teams evaluating AI infrastructure, the financing is paired with specific production targets and an existing set of named deployments. Those details may help frame supplier discussions, but buyers should treat the production figures as plans and the performance comparisons as company claims.
