Numerai, a hedge fund based in San Francisco that utilizes artificial intelligence and decentralized finance, has raised $30 million in a Series C round led by leading university endowments,
Richard Craib, founder and CEO of Numerai, highlighted the importance of this funding, noting that it supports the company's goal of creating a "21st-century asset management model" driven by top data scientists. "This funding enables us to accelerate our mission to build the world's final hedge fund—powered by AI and developed by the best data scientists globally," Craib commented
Numerai's unique approach blends AI, open-access trading, and crypto, drawing interest as Wall Street increasingly explores crowd-sourced insights. Its scalable platform and profitability outlook have led to comparisons with prediction-market platforms like Kalshi, though Numerai stands out for its focus on sophisticated equity trading models.
The company has recently expanded by opening a New York office and hiring an AI engineer from Meta Platforms Inc. to utilize large language models for extracting trading signals from text data. The firm's blog also mentioned a $1 million buyback of NMR from the open market, reflecting confidence in its platform.
