AI research startup Gibran raised $2.6 million in seed funding

AI research startup Gibran has raised $2.6 million in seed funding from Together Fund. The company is building a new type of AI system inspired by nature and evolutionary biology. The funding round was led by Together Fund’s founding partners, Girish Mathrubootham (Freshworks) and Manav Garg (Eka Software). The firm said Gibran’s idea of combining
language models with biology-inspired AI systems was one of the most unique it has come across.

Gibran was founded by Govind Balakrishnan and Srikant Chakravarti, who earlier built the AI audio platform Curio, along with Suzanne Sadedin, an evolutionary biologist, and Edgar
Duéñez-Guzmán, a researcher in generative systems. The startup wants to change how humans and machines work together, especially in creative areas like education, healthcare, and drug discovery. While most AI companies focus on scale and speed, Gibran is trying something different using ideas from nature to make AI more flexible, adaptive, and human-friendly
