I’m excited to announce Mundo’s $20M Series A. Together with our previously unannounced $4M seed round, we’ve now raised $24M. Over the past year, my conviction has only grown stronger: the next generation of AI won’t just reason better – it will understand the world more deeply. Speech, video, movement, human interaction, and the richness of real-world sensory experiences all contain information that today’s models are only beginning to learn from. Advancing that capability requires new forms of data, better evaluations, and tighter feedback loops between measuring progress and improving it. That’s what we’re building at Mundo. Today, our datasets and evaluations are used by leading AI labs and companies to build the next generation of multimodal systems. We’ve seen firsthand how much progress is possible when better data and evaluations meet better models - and how much further there is to go. Back to work!

ehh close enough

If this is a @Wealthsimple MCP server, we are so unbelievably back

finally got the vessi logo off 🪐

fun weekend project: adding sound to my personal site! we spend so much time thinking about how websites look, but rarely how they sound. this time, i wanted to explore that overlooked dimension of web design. it’s interesting how even subtle sounds can change how a website feels and how we interact with it.

I made an interface to binge watch thoughts from the best people in diverse fields here stealbrains.com/tv Steve Jobs - "It comes down to trying to expose yourself to the best things that humans have done and then try to bring those things in to what you're doing"

We're proud to announce the initial close of our Series E, targeting up to CAD $7 billion at a CAD $35.7 billion valuation; marking the largest private financing round in Canadian startup history.

3 years ago, on my birthday in junior year, I wrote a letter to my future self. today, I finally opened it and this line caught my eye. funny how the universe works :)

Not a surprise AI wants to go back home

We’ve been thinking a lot about how to best evaluate multimodal models, especially with so much new work happening around voice agents and speech-to-speech benchmarx. Before putting out benchmarks of our own, we wanted to spend more time understanding the core decisions that go into building a good evaluation in our latest blog post. We’ve historically shared a lot about the data we build at Mundo, but there’s so much cool work happening internally that we’re excited to start sharing more of :)

DM me if your use case is speech or video! Happy to help!

noul = bernoulli 🤯

Build in Canada!

there’s always a reason 🤗

AI is increasingly good at understanding code, text, and math. But the physical world is still much messier. @hellomundoai is betting that sights, sounds, and other sensory information are AI’s next big frontier. betakit.com/mundo-announces-…
