Founded in 2020 by Jake Cooper, the company has grown to over 2 million developers through pure product-led growth with zero marketing spend. In October 2025, Railway raised a $100M Series B led by TQ Ventures to position itself as an 'AI-native cloud' challenger to AWS and Google Cloud, with a focus on hosting agentic workloads.
