Sources & location evidence

Open research desk ↗

Profile source review: 2026-11-03. Official hiring page explicitly describes an in-person New York office. The September 30, 2026 $300M employee tender is secondary liquidity, not new company funding; latest verified primary financing remains the February Series D. Total funding of $781M is explicitly stated at Series D.

SoHo, Manhattan · verified office

40 Crosby Street, New York, NY. Current occupancy not confirmed. Government economic-development announcement and reported 10-year lease establish a specific business office destination, not a legal mailing address. Current company workplace hiring confirms an occupied SoHo hub, but no current primary source explicitly matches that hub to 40 Crosby. Move-in date remains unverified; preserve unknown occupancy. The reported older 169 Madison address conflicts with the government's contemporaneous Spring Street location and should not become a current pin.
