The Globe and Mail reports in its Tuesday edition that few Canadian companies had as good a year as Cohere in 2025. The Globe's Sean Silcoff writes that the Toronto generative artificial-intelligence company raised $600-million, achieved a $7-billion valuation, opened offices around the world and hired star researcher Joëlle Pineau as its chief AI officer. Cohere landed contracts with RBC, Bell, Dell, Thales, SAP and LG as its AI software for automating office work gained popularity. "It feels like we're just getting started," chief executive officer Aidan Gomez told The Globe. After entering 2025 with annualized revenues of about $50-million, Cohere exited the year at more than triple that level, and "I think we'll grow dramatically again next year," he said. That means Cohere has joined an elite group -- technology and tech-enabled companies that had surpassed $100-million in annual revenue, a yardstick of maturity and sustainability in the sector. The $100-million club now has 77 members, 24 of whom are above $300-million. In 2025, tech companies leaned in heavily to AI, embedding large language model-based technology into their products while building automated agents to overhaul how they manage their businesses.
