Nirva融资3300万美元押注AI吊坠
Nirva宣布完成2500万美元Pre-Series A融资，累计融资达到3300万美元，并计划于11月推出首款设备。这款首饰式吊坠也可作为手环佩戴，重量约8克，售价249美元；公司称设备会过滤周围对话、专注于佩戴者语音，默认不保留音频或文字记录。配套应用将生成个人洞察、提醒以及情绪和沟通方面的建议。
这笔融资将支持一款计划于11月上市的环境AI穿戴设备，其佩戴者定向聆听和隐私机制回应了AI穿戴领域的核心议题，但相关过滤、续航及数据处理说法尚无独立验证。
Ambient AI is having a moment. Amazon launched a new wrist-worn device with Bee; a former Plaud exec launched ambient apps through a startup called Ambi, which aims to also build its own hardware; and Apple launched Voice Intelligence features during its iPhone launch in September. Now, a company called Nirva is betting on a jewelry-like pendant and its ability to listen only to the wearer.
The startup today announced a new $25 million pre-Series A round, adding to the $8 million it raised earlier in the year from investors like Lightspeed and South Park Commons, bringing its total raise to $33 million.
Nirva was founded in 2025 by two former Meta Reality Labs employees, Wei Lyu and Jason Chen, along with Hanying Hu, who founded a fashion and jewelry brand.
The company’s first device is a pendant, which can also be worn as a bracelet. The device weighs only around eight grams, making it easy to wear all day. Its battery lasts up to three days on a single charge.
Longer term, Nirva aims to release more devices.
