Vipul Ved Prakash Has Been Opening Closed Doors for 25 Years
From a collaborative spam filter to a cloud for open AI, the Together AI founder keeps returning to one question: who gets to build with the next powerful technology?
Vipul Ved Prakash
Vipul Ved Prakash is a serial entrepreneur and technologist who co-founded Together AI, an AI acceleration cloud platform valued at $3.3 billion after a $305M Series B in February 2025. Previously, he built Topsy (acquired by Apple for $200M+), co-founded Cloudmark (acquired by Proofpoint), and created Vipul's Razor - one of the internet's first collaborative anti-spam systems. A self-described cypherpunk with a table-tennis past, Prakash has been dismantling bottlenecks - from spam to closed AI - for over two decades.
