Mindverse Secures Tens of Millions of Yuan in Angel Investment

Hangzhou-based AI technology company Mindverse announced on Wednesday that it has completed angel investment worth tens of millions of yuan. The leading investor was Sequoia China Seed Fund, co-investors were Linear Capital and K2VC, while Yuanhe Capital served as the exclusive financial consultant. The new funds will be mainly used for product R&D, team expansion and market development.

Founded in January of this year, Mindverse proceeds from the fusion technology of brain science and artificial intelligence, builds innovative digital mind awareness with autonomous consciousness and thinking ability, and develops the next-generation AI paradigm.

Specifically, traditional virtual humans rely on large-scale pre-trained models based on AI frameworks. Unlike them, Mindverse’s framework creates association mechanisms in communication. While memory information and environmental information are transformed into its dialogue material, driving the autonomous thinking planning of virtual humans. Pre-training programs, on the other hand, provide a knowledge base that can further reduce the requirements for data and computation.
