Sources & location evidence
Open research desk ↗Profile source review: 2026-11-04. Current AI product, canonical identity, active operations and NYC presence. Funding not rechecked unless a linked funding correction is recorded. Current Contact page lists New York under Sales Locations; official Series F release calls VAST remote-first. Do not label it NYC HQ based solely on the press-release dateline. The Series F transaction was approximately $1B including both primary and secondary capital, so funding_amount is null rather than treating the entire transaction as primary fundraising. The press-release body is dated April 22, 2026 while CMS header shows April 21.
