Brain Co., incubated by Elad Gil, Jared Kushner, Luis Videgaray, and Eric Wu, announced its emergence from stealth mode alongside the closing of a $30 million Series A financing round.
“We’re living through a once-in-a-generation platform shift,” said Jared Kushner, CEO of Affinity Partners. “After speaking with Elad, we realized we could build a bridge between Silicon Valley’s best AI talent and the world’s most important institutions to drive global impact.”
The funding round was co-led by Gil Capital and Affinity Partners, with participation from prominent figures across AI, technology, and business, including:
-
Andrej Karpathy, co-founder of OpenAI

Aravind Srinivas, co-founder and CEO of Perplexity AI

“This is about redefining how AI is adopted and scaled across the real economy,” said Elad Gil. “Brain Co. brings together best-in-class talent, speed, and distribution and that positions them to be a defining company of the AI era.”
Since its inception, Brain Co. has partnered with ten Global 2000 companies, including a strategic collaboration with OpenAI, addressing high-impact challenges such as:
-
Automating construction permitting workflows
-
Optimizing energy consumption in industrial plants
-
Streamlining patient care in hospital systems
-
Managing complex customer interactions in sectors like hotels and restaurants
These early deployments have already generated hundreds of millions in value across healthcare, energy, retail, government, and hospitality sectors.
With this Series A funding, Brain Co. aims to redefine enterprise and government technology consumption. Traditional software development build, deploy, integrate has struggled to keep pace with the rapid evolution of AI. Brain Co.’s approach automatically incorporates new AI capabilities into existing applications, ensuring immediate and ongoing value for its partners.
“Everyone talks about the potential of AI, but most enterprises are stuck with applications built on AI capabilities that are obsolete by the time they get access,” said Clemens Mewald, CEO of Brain Co. and former product leader at Instabase, Databricks, and Google Brain. “That has led us to innovate not only on how we build but also on how software is generally consumed by enterprises and governments.”
