Turing is one of the world’s fastest-growing AI companies accelerating the advancement and deployment of powerful AI systems. Turing helps customers in two ways: Working with the world’s leading AI labs to advance frontier model capabilities in thinking, reasoning, coding, agentic behavior, multimodality, multilinguality, STEM and frontier knowledge; and leveraging that work to build real-world AI systems that solve mission-critical priorities for companies. Powering this growth is Turing’s talent cloud—an AI-vetted pool of 4M+ software engineers, data scientists, and STEM experts who can train models and build AI applications. All of this is orchestrated by ALAN—our AI-powered platform for matching and managing talent, and generating high-quality human and synthetic data to improve model performance. ALAN also accelerates workflows for model and agent evals, supervised fine-tuning, reinforcement learning, reinforcement learning with human feedback, preference-pair generation, benchmarking, data capture for pre-training, post-training, and building AI applications. Turing—based in San Francisco, California—was named #1 on The Information’s annual list of “Top 50 Most Promising B2B Companies,” and has been profiled by Fast Company, TechCrunch, Reuters, Semafor, VentureBeat, Entrepreneur, CNBC, Forbes, and many others.

At Collinear Capital, we’re redefining how enterprise technology thrives by unlocking the untapped potential of individual consultants, systems integrators, and enterprise technologists. These professionals sit at the heart of the symbiotic relationship between enterprise technology companies, consulting firms, and enterprise customers—a relationship we call the Enterprise Tech Equation. We believe innovation flourishes when technology product companies and consultants work together, but traditionally, the wealth generated from these innovations has been inaccessible to the very people implementing and adopting these solutions. We’re changing that. Our firm empowers individual consultants and technologists to invest in what they know best: enterprise B2B startups. By pooling their expertise and capital, these investors gain access to opportunities typically reserved for institutional funds. In return, our portfolio companies benefit from the wisdom and networks of industry experts, ensuring they can: Attract top talent through expert recommendations and direct involvement. Navigate new markets and develop targeted product features with hands-on advisory support. Build and strengthen critical partnerships with consulting and systems integration firms. We focus on Series A and B enterprise B2B startups with proven traction and scaling potential. Our engaged community of investors doesn’t just commit capital—they contribute their knowledge and experience, providing a unique edge in deal sourcing, evaluation, and portfolio company success. We’re more than a venture capital firm. We’re a community of experts driving the future of enterprise technology—and sharing in the success we help create.
