??RewindAI
Funding =?$350M
Round = Series A funding, raised publicly (extremely unorthodox)
?? The Details
Dan Siroker, the CEO and co-founder of Rewind AI, took a bold and unconventional approach to fundraising for the company's Series A round. Instead of following the traditional path, Siroker made a public announcement on Twitter, inviting venture capitalists to submit offers.
To facilitate the process, Siroker shared an online form where investors could specify the highest amount they were comfortable investing, ranging from $200 million to $1 billion. By taking this?public approach, Siroker generated significant interest and received an overwhelming response. He dedicated substantial time to personally meet with investors, conducting thorough reference checks, and diligently assessing each opportunity.
Despite attracting offers from over?1,010 investors?at valuations surpassing $1B, Siroker carefully selected 61 investors who?valued Rewind AI at $350 million, with the National Education Association (NEA) taking the lead with a $12M buy-in.
NEA's exemplary reputation, backed by positive references, played a crucial role in solidifying its position as the ideal partner for Siroker's visionary goals. Furthermore, their commitment to being buyers rather than sellers at the IPO aligned perfectly with Siroker's long-term vision for the company.
?? The Product
Rewind is the?perfect memory tool.
It records anything you’ve seen, said, or heard and makes it searchable.
Using GPT-4, Rewind allows you to ask an AI bot any questions related to your past experiences. Think of it as a personal search engine that retrieves facts and information about everything you’ve encountered
For instance, you can ask Rewind about your activities from last week, and it will provide a summary of the highlights, including meetings attended, emails sent, and websites accessed.
To ensure privacy, Rewind accesses your local Mac recordings, and according to the creators, all your information remains securely stored on your computer without leaving it.

1 年The article states "Funding =?$350M" but also "Siroker carefully selected 61 investors who?valued Rewind AI at $350 million" This would imply that 100% of the company was sold. Seemed off. Looking into it, the final company valuation was $350M, not the funding itself. i.e. Valuation = $350M or Funding => $350M Valuation "Funding =?$350M" seems inadvertently misleading. Would "Valuation = $350M" be a ridiculous rewording?
