What happened
Trajectory has raised $45 million in new funding to help nontechnical experts train AI models. The one-year-old startup is now valued at $300 million.
Why it matters
Reaching a $300M valuation within its first year demonstrates intense capital appetite for AI infrastructure that abstracts away model training. Enabling nontechnical domain experts to build and fine-tune models directly targets a critical bottleneck in enterprise adoption.
What to watch
Monitor whether Trajectory can convert nontechnical enterprise users into high-retention enterprise ARR before foundation model providers introduce native no-code fine-tuning tools.
