According to Forbes, PANews reports that Vigil Labs AI has completed a $5.7 million funding round, with plans to develop an AI system designed to enhance human traders. Nova led the seed round, with participation from Lux Capital, Pantera Capital, SV Angel, Soma Capital, Valor Equity Partners, Jack Altman, Kevin Hartz, Cyan Banister, Micky Malka, and several prominent AI researchers.
It is understood that Vigil Labs AI founder Kole Lee began accumulating wealth by trading stocks in high school, later turning to the cryptocurrency field. He interned at Pantera Capital and led the blockchain club at Stanford University. Additionally, he successfully transformed his personal crypto asset investments into a fortune and in 2024 pushed the Stanford student fund Blyth Fund to allocate 7% of its portfolio to Bitcoin. Lee stated that the market rewards wisdom and adaptability, and AI is the best way to expand these qualities.
