AI Fund

AI Fund is a venture studio co-founded by Dr. Andrew Ng in 2017, dedicated to accelerating the adoption of artificial intelligence by co-founding and supporting AI-driven startups. The studio collaborates with entrepreneurs, venture funds, and corporate partners to rapidly build companies that address real-world challenges through AI solutions. Backed by over $370 million in capital from leading venture capital firms such as Sequoia Capital, NEA, and SoftBank, AI Fund has established itself as a significant player in the AI startup ecosystem.

The studio's approach involves working closely with founders from the inception of their ideas, providing resources, expertise, and funding to transform concepts into successful businesses. AI Fund's portfolio spans various sectors, including healthcare, financial services, manufacturing, media, education, transportation, retail, energy, agriculture, real estate, telecommunications, consumer goods, automotive, logistics, and more. This diverse focus reflects the studio's commitment to leveraging AI to drive innovation across multiple industries.

In October 2024, AI Fund made its first investment in India by backing Jivi, an AI healthcare firm based in Gurugram. This investment underscores the studio's dedication to supporting AI-driven innovation in the healthcare sector and expanding its global footprint. The studio's ongoing efforts aim to foster the growth of AI startups that contribute positively to society and the economy, aligning with Dr. Ng's vision of moving humanity forward through artificial intelligence.
