PANews reported on April 11 that Plastic Labs announced the completion of a $5.35 million Pre-Seed funding round, led by Variant, White Star Capital, and Betaworks, with participation from Mozilla Ventures, Seed Club Ventures, Greycroft, and Differential Ventures. Angel investors include Scott Moore, NiMA Asghari, and Thomas Howell. Simultaneously, their personalized AI identity platform "Honcho" is now open for early access.
Honcho provides user identity modeling and social cognitive capabilities through cloud API, helping developers build AI agents with personalized memory and adaptability. Plastic plans to expand Honcho from a platform to a decentralized network, allowing users to share and sovereignly own their "digital identity representation" across multiple AI applications, promoting an individual-driven AI alignment paradigm.
