We're thrilled to share that portfolio company Consensus recently secured $11M in funding to advance their #AI-driven search tool for academics. Consensus aims to transform how scientific research is accessed and utilized, bringing powerful AI tools to the academic community. This new funding will help them continue to innovate and expand their impact on how we consume and interact with research. Read the full article from Bloomberg below!
We are thrilled to share with the world that we have raised $11.5M in Series A funding led by Union Square Ventures! Alongside USV is an amazing group of investors joining the round like Nat Friedman & Daniel Gross (NFDG), Kevin Carter (Night Capital), lead seed investor Draper Associates and more. Scientific research is the most valuable source of knowledge humans have ever created. Yet - there is no easy way to search and consume it. We have built Consensus to change this. We’ve been humbled by the thousands of stories we’ve heard from users about how Consensus has helped them - from distinguished scientists to high-school students. To our amazing users, thank you. This round of funding enables us to expand our team of science-loving engineers and operators to double down on building the best scientific search engine ever. Consensus is just getting started.
