Real-time generative environments — interactive video, simulation, synthetic data for gaming, robotics, and physical AI. Offices in San Francisco, New York, and Tel Aviv.
Why NVIDIA showing up matters
When the GPU monopoly invests in your world model stack, they're not being polite — they're securing the simulation layer for robotics and training data pipelines.
Practical takeaway
Founders: Frontier AI isn't only LLMs — spatial/interactive models are a parallel gold rush. Investors: $3.1B valuations require enterprise or platform distribution, not demo reels alone.
