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.

Mirendil, a stealthy startup building foundational AI systems for scientific and industrial research and development, launched with a staggering $200 million seed round co-led by Andreessen Horowitz and Kleiner Perkins, with Nvidia among its backers. The size of a seed once reserved for Series B underscores how aggressively top investors are pre-funding teams chasing AI that can accelerate discovery in chemistry, materials and the physical sciences.
