Hark valued at $6 billion

AI hardware startup Hark has raised over $700 million in a new funding round that values the company at $6 billion.

The firm, founded by Figure AI CEO Brett Adcock, is developing a secretive 'universal' AI interface.

The Series A round was led by Parkway Venture Capital and included participation from Nvidia, Intel, and Salesforce.

Hark's technology aims to create 'personalized intelligence' devices for the consumer market, potentially challenging existing smartphones and digital assistants.

The massive funding highlights the intense investor interest in AI-native hardware as the industry moves beyond software-only solutions.
