Cognition AI Inc. raised over $1 bln in its latest funding round, taking its
post-money valuation to $26 bln, according to an announcement the startup is
scheduled to release on Wednesday. The round was co-led by VCs Lux Capital,
General Catalyst and 8VC; other participants included Ribbit Capital, Atreides
Management LP and Peter Thiel’s Founders Fund. The post-money valuation is more
than double the firm’s valuation at its prior financing in September last year,
a development that further evidences strong market demand for AI-assisted
software development companies.
