Today, I'm thrilled to announce Pramaana's $27M seed, led by @khoslaventures.
The foundational domains that hold the world together: tax, law, finance, healthcare; all run on certainty. Probabilistic AI can't give them that. We’ve been asked to accept wrong answers with AI as ‘hallucinations’, while in traditional software terms, it’s just a bug. And a wrong answer in such mission-critical domains is more than just a bug, it's a liability that could have catastrophic impact.

We built Pramaana to deliver a 100% trustable experience to the domains that run on certainty: AI that is provably correct, not probabilistically correct. We turn statute and regulation into machine-verifiable code, so every output ships with mathematical proof of correctness. Our mission is to make AI take ownership of it’s work.
Pramaana in Sanskrit stands for “means of valid knowledge”, and we’re going to achieve that by formalizing the world’s knowledge.

Neurotech is moving from rigid implants to biology-aware infrastructure.

@NeurosoftBio raised $7.5M in oversubscribed Seed funding led by Skybound Venture Capital, with @plcapital and @iagcapital joining, as @NicoVachicouras, Ludovic Serex, Florian Fallegger, and Stéphanie Lacour build stretchable brain-computer interfaces designed to conform to the brain’s surface.

The next BCI winners will not force hardware onto the brain. They will build systems flexible enough to work with it.

[Marvell Technology @MarvellTech]

Today, we announced the close of our acquisition of Celestial AI.

Celestial AI brings innovative optical interconnect technology designed to support high-bandwidth, low-latency connectivity as AI systems scale beyond individual racks into large, tightly integrated platforms. Together with Marvell’s leadership in high-speed connectivity, switching, and optics, this strengthens our ability to deliver more integrated, power-efficient solutions for next-generation AI and cloud data center infrastructure.

We’re excited to welcome the Celestial AI team to Marvell and to build on this momentum as AI architectures continue to evolve. We look forward to working with our customers to build the connectivity foundation for the next era of AI infrastructure.

We are proud to lead @PhysicalAI’s $35mm Series A with Hitachi Ventures!

[Archetype AI @PhysicalAI]

AI goes into the real world 🌎 Today, we're starting a new chapter of Archetype as we celebrate our $35M Series A.

The physical world generates vast amounts of sensor and video data every day but most of it goes unused. After years of AI living behind screens — in dashboards, apps, and digital abstractions — intelligence is finally stepping into the physical world.

We're bringing the Archetype platform to more customers and evolving Newton from a powerful foundation model into an intelligence layer for the physical world—one that perceives, understands, and reasons across real-world systems, enabling hundreds of intelligent applications.

And this is just the beginning.

This funding round, led by IAG Capital Partners and Hitachi Ventures, with participation from Bezos Expeditions, Venrock, Amazon Industrial Innovation Fund, Samsung, E12, Systemiq Capital, HLV, and others, enables us to scale physical intelligence globally and continue advancing Newton as the premier foundation model for the real world.

Thank you to our team, partners, investors, and all of you for following our journey to making the world truly intelligent.

Onwards! 🚀

[IAG Capital Partners @iagcapital]

@iagcapital Partners is excited to announce we co-led @PhysicalAI 's $35M Series A with @HitachiVentures.

Archetype is pioneering Physical AI: artificial intelligence designed to understand the physical world by working directly with sensor data, enabling enterprises to interact with complex operations through natural language, and turn insights into action.

Newton, their proprietary foundation model, fuses hundreds of sensor modalities to deliver intelligence where traditional AI cannot reach: in factories, infrastructure, energy grids, vehicles, supply chains and industrial operations. This enables organizations to understand what's happening in real time, predict issues before they occur, and optimize performance in mission-critical environments.

Congratulations to @IvanPoupyrev,Dr. @BrandonBarbello, @_jaimelien_, @Nick Gillian @leonardogiusti and and the entire @PhysicalAI team on this milestone!
