According to TechCrunch, U.S.-based AI wearable startup Nirva announced on October 22 that it has completed a $25 million Pre-A funding round, bringing its total raised to $33 million. The specific investors were not disclosed.
Nirva, founded in 2025 by former Meta Reality Labs employees Wei Lyu, Jason Chen, and Hanying Hu, offers an AI pendant designed to sustainably listen to the wearer’s conversations. The device identifies the wearer and filters out voices from surrounding speakers by capturing voice samples during a setup phase. The company states that audio and transcribed text are deleted by default after processing, though it remains unclear whether speech processing occurs locally or in the cloud.
