In a funding round that further underscores healthy investor appetite for AI ventures, Reflection AI, a startup backed by Nvidia, has raised $2 billion. This latest round, as reported by Reuters, pushes the AI startup’s valuation to $8 billion.

As we grapple with the true extent of AI’s capabilities, VC firms and investors are in an apparent race to fund the next world-beating use case. In Q3 2025, global venture capital investment in AI firms reached nearly 46% of total funding, contributing to a 38% year-over-year increase in overall VC activity. Reflection AI’s meteoric rise captures the moment perfectly: now valued at $8 billion, up from just $545 million after a $130 million raise in its last round.

The startup, founded in 2024, is the brainchild of former DeepMind researchers Misha Laskin and Ioannis Antonoglou. The team is building tools to automate the software development pipeline, putting it in competition with the likes of OpenAI and DeepSeek.
