Stealthy AI-R&D Lab Mirendil Raises a $200M Seed From a16z and Kleiner Perkins
Mirendil, a new and largely stealth frontier AI lab focused on building systems for AI research and development itself, raised a $200 million seed round co-led by Andreessen Horowitz and Kleiner Perkins, with Nvidia among its backers. A nine-figure seed for a pre-product lab is one of the year's clearest signals that capital is racing to fund the next generation of foundation-model challengers.
