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. Turing’s leadership team includes AI technologists from Meta, Google, Microsoft, Apple, Amazon, X, Stanford, Caltech, and MIT.

Sequoia helps daring founders build legendary companies from idea to IPO and beyond. We aim to be the first true believers in tomorrow’s most valuable and enduring businesses. We partner with a few outliers each year and go all-in, providing them with the hands-on help required at every stage of the company building journey. Our expertise comes from 50 years of working with legendary founders like Steve Jobs, Larry Page, Jan Koum, Adi Tatarko, Brian Chesky, Jensen Huang, Anne Wojcicki, Eric Yuan, Patrick Collison, Julia Hartz, and Sebastian Siemiatkowski. In aggregate, Sequoia-backed companies account for more than 25% of NASDAQs total value. Since our inception, the vast majority of the money we invest has been on behalf of nonprofits and schools like the Ford Foundation, Mayo Clinic and MIT, which means most of the returns we generate benefit these great causes.
