Bret Taylor’s customer service AI startup just raised $175M


Sierra, the AI startup co-founded by OpenAI chairman Bret Taylor, has raised $175 million in a funding round that values the startup at $4.5 billion.

Sierra, launched by Taylor and longtime Google exec Clay Bavor, focuses on selling AI-powered customer service chatbots to brands like WeightWatchers and Sirius XM.

Greenoaks Capital led the round, which brings Sierra’s total raised to $285 million, per Crunchbase.
