Index Ventures leads $7.9m seed in AI startup Intelligence

AI初创公司Intelligence刚拿到790万美元的种子轮融资，领投方是知名风投Index Ventures。这笔钱虽然不算天文数字，但种子轮能吸引到顶级机构，说明这家公司的技术底子很有看点。简单来说，种子轮就像给刚破土的幼苗浇的第一桶水，是创业公司最早期、风险最高的融资阶段。Index Ventures愿意押注，等于给这家公司的技术方向投了张信任票。虽然新闻没说具体做什么产品，但顶着"Intelligence"这个名字，八九不离十是做AI底层能力或应用工具的。这件事对普通人的意义在于，资本愿意往AI赛道砸钱，AI工具的门槛会越来越低，场景也会越来越细。说不定过阵子你手机上就会冒出个解决某个具体小麻烦的AI应用，背后就是这波钱推出来的。当然，竞争也残酷，大部分种子轮公司最后都默默消失了，但活下来的那少数，可能就会变成你离不开的日常工具。AI离普通人的日常生活，又近了一步。
