Harmonic, a Palo Alto-based company focused on commercializing mathematical superintelligence, has raised $100 million in a Series B funding round led by Kleiner Perkins, with participation from Paradigm, Ribbit Capital, Sequoia Capital, Index Ventures and Charlie Cheever.
According to a company blog post, the funding will be used to accelerate the development of MSI so that it can be brought into real-world applications. Harmonic’s first model, named Aristotle, is designed to support researchers in theoretical mathematics, helping them solve open problems in math and related disciplines.
As part of the announcement, Harmonic also shared that Ilya Fushman, partner at Kleiner Perkins, will join its board of directors as an observer.
