DeepMind's David Silver Raises $1B Seed at $4B Valuation
Ineffable Intelligence lands one of the largest seed rounds ever, with Sequoia Capital leading the massive deal.
David Silver just pulled off one of the most jaw-dropping seed rounds in tech history. His startup Ineffable Intelligence is raising $1 billion with Sequoia Capital leading the charge, valuing the company at $4 billion before it's barely off the ground.
Silver isn't some random founder chasing hype. He served as principal scientist at Google DeepMind — one of the most consequential AI research labs on the planet. That pedigree clearly carries serious weight with investors.
A $1B seed at a $4B valuation is staggering by any measure. It signals just how aggressively top-tier VCs are betting on elite AI talent spinning out of major labs.
Details on what exactly Ineffable Intelligence is building remain sparse. But when Sequoia writes a check this size for a seed-stage company, the market pays attention.
