“When Fractal raised its final round by TPG Capital in 2023, it was valued at $1.55 billion, before the company ventured into Genai Solutions and Services,” said an executive who didn’t want to be identified. “It’s early to comment on the exact rating, but it’s a healthy multiple of Fractal’s final round.”
The person added, “While early stage investors such as Apax Partners and Khazanah Nasional Berhad (The Government of Malaysia) have been associated with Fractal for six years, TPG may be looking at the exit.
The company has raised $855 million so far.
The new funds will be invested in the company’s generative AI services portfolio, research and development, global expansion, and the expansion of several existing loans, Knowledge People said.
