Genspark, a California-based AI agent startup, has raised more than $200 million in its latest round, pushing its valuation past $1 billion and marking its entry into the global AI unicorn club.
The funding round saw participation from LG Technology Ventures and Japan’s SBI Investment, Bloomberg reported, citing co-founder Wen Sang.
Wen Sang did not name the other investors, though Tencent Holdings Ltd and Hongshan Capital have been in talks to join the funding, the Information reported.
The full lineup of investors will reportedly be disclosed at a company event in San Francisco on November 20.
