AI chip startup Groq is in talks to raise a fresh $600 million at a near $6 billion valuation, sources tell Bloomberg, although the deal isn’t yet final and terms could change.
Groq raised $640 million at a $2.8 billion valuation in November 2024, making this double the valuation in about nine months. Groq previously raised about $1 billion.
The new round is led by Austin-based firm Disruptive, Bloomberg reports. The November round was led by Blackrock, with participation from Neuberger Berman, Type One Ventures, Cisco, KDDI, and Samsung Catalyst Fund.
Groq was founded by Jonathan Ross, who previously worked at Google developing its Tensor Processing Unit chip. The startup emerged from stealth in 2016.
