Town Raises $55M Series A From a16z and Forerunner to Build the AI Assistant That Learns How You Work

SAN FRANCISCO, June 03, 2026 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Town, the personalized AI assistant that learns how people work across the tools they already use, today announced a $55 million Series A led by Andreessen Horowitz, with participation from Forerunner Ventures and continued support from First Round Capital, Alt Capital, and Conviction. The funding will accelerate Town's mission to make AI genuinely useful for everyone, not just people willing to become AI experts.

AI has changed everything, except most people's actual day. Despite explosive adoption, people are still spending mornings triaging inboxes, afternoons chasing follow-ups, and evenings catching up on what slipped through the cracks. The average knowledge worker uses more than a dozen productivity tools. Most don't talk to each other. None understand who you are, how you work, or what matters to you. The gap between what AI promised and what most people actually experience remains enormous. That gap is why Town was built..

AI for Everyone, Not Just the Technical Few

The vast majority of people are still unable to tap into the full potential of AI. Not because they aren't capable, but because today's tools ask everyone to become an AI expert before they can build anything truly useful. Users can ask questions in a chat box, but doing more requires learning prompting, workflows, connectors, and building agents and technical infrastructure most people have no interest in managing.

Town was built on a different belief: everyone who manages a complex life and a demanding job deserves a real assistant. One that learns how they work, not one that requires them to learn how it works.

Town works across the tools people already use, including their inbox, calendar, Slack, docs, and beyond, adapting to each user's voice, relationships, rhythms, and priorities without extensive setup or configuration.
