AI 初创公司 Simile 宣布完成 2 亿美元 B 轮融资,投后估值达到 20 亿美元。距离其结束隐身并公布 1 亿美元 A 轮融资,仅过去 5 个月,融资节奏明显加快。

Greenoaks领投新一轮

这轮融资由 Greenoaks 领投,Index Ventures、Hanabi、Bain Capital Ventures、A*、Factory、Definition 和 CVS Health Ventures 参投。CVS 旗下投资部门不仅出资,也是 Simile 的重要客户之一。

从时间和金额看,Simile 在短期内连续完成大额融资,估值迅速升至 20 亿美元,成为近期 AI 创业公司中融资速度较快的一家。

产品聚焦合成用户

Simile 主要为营销和产品研究提供“合成用户”服务。这类工具试图用 AI 模拟不同用户的行为和反馈,帮助企业在真实投放或产品上线前先做测试。

公司由斯坦福博士 Joon Sung Park 创立。他此前的博士研究项目“Smallville”曾尝试让 AI 智能体在虚拟环境中模拟人类生活,并持续展开互动。

同类赛道继续吸金

围绕“合成用户”和模拟研究的创业方向,近期持续获得风投关注。报道提到,同类公司 Aaru 也在去年 12 月完成 A 轮融资,当时估值达到 10 亿美元。

不过,市场对这类产品的关注点仍在落地场景。相比“模拟全球 80 亿人”这类宏大目标,企业更看重它能否在营销测试、产品验证等环节提升效率并降低试错成本。
