Background & analysis
On October 29, 2026, Cohere announced the initial close of its Series E. The company is targeting up to CAD $7 billion in new funding at a CAD $35.7 billion valuation, and described the round as the largest private financing in Canadian startup history. Shortly afterward, Bloomberg reported that Cohere is raising a large round at a $20.5 billion valuation, roughly tripling its worth from a year ago, with the Canadian government and NVIDIA among the participants in the round. On what has been publicly confirmed so far, Cohere has confirmed the initial close of the Series E, the up-to-CAD $7 billion target, and the CAD $35.7 billion valuation; Bloomberg, for its part, cites a $20.5 billion valuation figure and names the Canadian government and NVIDIA as investors. The two valuation figures do not match, and no conclusion can be drawn from the available reports. Further developments have not been reported.
