The news
Modal announced a 750 million dollar Series D led by Accel at a 15.75 billion dollar post-money valuation, more than triple the 4.65 billion dollar valuation of its May Series C. The company says annualised run-rate revenue has crossed one billion dollars and usage has tripled since that round.
Why it matters
Running code written by AI agents safely has turned into a billion-dollar category in under two years. That is the picks-and-shovels layer under every coding agent.
The details
Modal says its Sandboxes product, isolated runtimes for code generated by language models, is on its own a business of about 300 million dollars a year in run-rate revenue. Kleiner Perkins joined the round, and existing investors including Menlo Ventures, General Catalyst and Redpoint took part.
The raise landed the same week Perplexity open-sourced its own agent sandbox, a sign that this layer will be fought over on price.
