The next frontier for AI is taking shape. @SamirKaul1 joined @EdLudlow on @BloombergTV to discuss why we believe so strongly in @DiscoLoopAI and why recursive self-improvement may be one of the most consequential opportunities ahead. bloomberg.com/news/videos/20…
Proud to be backing @VeedaAI as they come out of stealth today. They’re building the training ground robotics needs: somewhere robots can fail and learn before the stakes are real. @FidlerSanja, @ZGojcic, and @HuanLing6 spent years tackling some of simulation’s hardest problems at NVIDIA. We’re thrilled to support this exceptional founding team alongside @radicalvcfund.
Sanja Fidler@FidlerSanja·I’m incredibly excited to introduce @VeedaAI , which I co-founded with my incredible longtime collaborators @ZGojcic and @HuanLing6 . We started Veeda because we believe robotics will reshape the world—changing how we move people and goods, how we manufacture and build, and how we operate in the physical world. We also firmly believe that the scaling moment for Physical AI will come from robots learning through interaction with the world. Just like humans learn from interaction with their environments by trying, failing and trying again, until we succeed. And just like the capabilities of LLMs were truly unlocked when they started training in interactive environments and not only on vast amounts of internet text. For Physical AI, the central challenge is making this kind of interactive learning possible at scale. The real world is simply not a practical training ground for robots to learn through trial and error. It is unsafe, expensive, and time-consuming. To scale interactive learning, robots will need to learn in simulated reality. At Veeda, our sole mission is to build simulated reality for Physical AI. Our conviction is that this will become the critical infrastructure layer for all areas of robotics. As envisioned in pop culture, this means building “the Matrix” for Physical AI, where, through a virtual embodiment, robot intelligence can interact with an entirely virtual world in a million possible ways, learning from its own mistakes. We believe that World Models are the foundational technology that can make this possible. These generative models learn from massive amounts of sensor and physical-world data to reach the quality, diversity, and physical realism of the simulated reality that robots require. I could not be more excited to take on this challenge and build this transformative technology alongside an extraordinary team of engineers and researchers who have spent years working on some of the hardest problems across simulation, generative AI, 3D, robotics, and embodied intelligence. Together with our investors at @khoslaventures and @radicalvcfund , we intend to push the frontier of this technology and build the foundational infrastructure for interactive robotics learning and evaluation at scale. Come build this future with us. And to roboticists, help us understand what you need, we’re building this for you. t.co/76cpYJNaR7
Policy is full of data that's technically public but practically inaccessible. @StateAffairsUS is turning that data into a proprietary knowledge graph to power the AI platform for policy intelligence. @rabois joined Bloomberg's @RomaineBostick with State Affairs CEO Evan Burns to discuss why we backed State Affairs and the company's vision to make policy intelligence more accessible and actionable. t.co/1NfDccLhXX
We’re proud to back @WindBorneWx as they build the infrastructure for a new era of weather intelligence. Most of the atmosphere is still unobserved. WindBorne is changing that, giving forecasters data from places and conditions that have historically been nearly impossible to measure. The future of weather forecasting will depend on seeing what we can’t yet see. Congrats to the WindBorne team on the latest milestone. Excited to keep backing what they’re building.
WindBorne Systems@WindBorneWx·We recently flew balloons into the eye of a Category 4 typhoon. That data doesn’t exist anywhere else. We just raised $37M to make it routine.
Vinod Khosla joined @andrewrsorkin on @SquawkCNBC to discuss our recent investment in @DiscoveryLoop, the state of the AI race, and where he sees the biggest opportunities ahead. Watch the conversation: cnbc.com/video/2026/08/…
The AI arms race is transforming cybersecurity, and the advantage cannot belong to attackers. Proud to back @AlonPluda and @CormaAI as they build foundation models purpose-built for defensive cybersecurity. x.com/AlonPluda/stat…
Congrats to the @MarianaMinerals team on their $310M Series B. Critical minerals demand is only accelerating, and Mariana is building the vertically-integrated, end-to-end model the industry needs to meet it. Proud to lead this round alongside such a strong group of investors. x.com/MarianaMineral…
We backed @CFS_energy in 2019 when almost no other fund would touch fusion. Seven years later, @vkhosla calls it one of the most impactful and ambitious projects he's backed in his career. Congrats to @BobMumgaard and the entire CFS team on today's milestone. x.com/CFS_energy/sta…
We're thrilled to lead @dili_ai's $15M Series A. Dili is building the AI compliance and audit layer for America's infrastructure boom, giving Fortune 500 builders full visibility across high-stakes capital projects. In just 6 months, they've grown 500%, now powering $4B in project spend across 700+ projects. Congratulations to the entire Dili team!
AI's energy bottleneck isn't electricity. It's getting power to the right place at the right time. x.com/vkhosla/status…
Congrats to @berman66 and the team on @runlayer's $30M Series A. Enterprises want to go all in on AI, but the moment agents start acting, most teams can't see what they're doing or stop one going rogue. Runlayer is the golden path: enablement, security, and control in one platform. After backing the team at the seed, we're doubling down because governance isn't a tax on AI adoption. We see it as the unlock. Read the feature in @FortuneMagazine from @LilyMaeLazarus 👇
Last week, @ScaledCognition announced its $100M Series A. We led the round because in any industry where an agent takes a real action, a wrong answer is the only thing that counts - and they've built the model that won't give you one. The two Dans have taken the harder road, building a new architecture instead of putting a layer on top of a frontier model, to fix AI's reliability problem. Over the next year, companies running on their models are on track to automate more than a billion customer interactions. Congrats to @roth_dan, @profdanklein, and the entire team.
Most AI today has learned to see the world. The harder and more valuable problem is teaching it to predict what happens when someone acts in it. @gen_intuition is building the large action foundation models that do exactly that, trained on billions of clips from over 17M monthly active users on Medal. Congrats to the team on their $320M Series A. Large action models are the next big leap, and this category will produce several of the most valuable companies in AI. We're backing General Intuition because it's built to lead them.
Most enterprise AI is a co-pilot that makes you incrementally faster. @conveyAI built something different: AI teammates that own the outcome and run operations unattended. Over a million hours of work already done and customers like NBCUniversal, Samsara, and TelevisaUnivision. Congrats to @rohanbchopra and the team on their $38M Series A! We're proud to have backed Convey at the seed and are doubling down because they're building the AI workforce enterprises actually trust.
In tax, law, finance, and healthcare, a wrong answer isn't a hallucination. It's a liability. We're proud to have led @PramaanaLabs' $27M seed and to be backing a team building AI that's provably correct, not probabilistically correct: every output ships with mathematical proof. x.com/ranjan_vittal/…
