Sources & location evidence
Open research desk ↗Profile source review: 2026-11-03. New to the live 106-company baseline. Primary company About identifies all four founders and explains production infrastructure, post-training, model optimization, and deployment. June 22, 2026 official Series F announcement supersedes January 2026 Series E; total raised is omitted because no current total was verified. NYC occupied hub is supported by company office event plus dated SEC rent roll. Do not call NYC the global HQ. Blurb synthesized from current primary product messaging; original label: 'The platform for inference, training, and execution.'

Manhattan · verified office
215 Park Avenue South, Floor 18, New York, NY 10003. Company event describes its new office, opening doors to the community, and supplies the exact 18th-floor address. 'NYC HQ' is its label for the local hub, not proof its global headquarters moved from San Francisco. The page is undated; its Series E celebration places context in 2026 but no publication date is invented. SEC rent roll independently records Baseten as Nayya's 12,660-SF subtenant through December 30, 2029. Neighborhood omitted.
