Nvidia, SV Angel Set to Back Humans& at $4.48 Billion Valuation

Humans&, a new startup building a frontier artificial intelligence lab, has raised a $480 million seed funding round at a $4.48 billion valuation — an unusually large haul for a young startup.

The financing was led by SV Angel, a venture firm founded by serial investor Ron Conway, as well as Humans& co-founder Georges Harik, an investor and early Google employee. Other investors in the round include Jeff Bezos, Nvidia Corp. and GV, formerly Google Ventures. The San Francisco-based startup also said it will work with Nvidia on hardware and software.
