Why Cyngn is interesting

Cyngn's cap table still reflects early a16z, Benchmark, and Redpoint backing from the Cyanogen era before the AV pivot — useful for tracking legacy Silicon Valley bets on mobility.

Key facts

  • Series C (Mar 2015): $80M round included Benchmark, Redpoint, a16z (public filings/Tracxn)
  • IPO (Oct 2021): NASDAQ:CYN — industrial AV pivot from earlier Cyanogen-era cap table
