"Prometheus is building systems that can reason about the physical world itself, materials, tolerances, processes and the immutable laws of physics."
"The fundraising, if completed at the mooted terms, would place Prometheus among the most richly valued early-stage AI businesses on the planet."
"Running the show on a day-to-day basis is chief executive Vikram Bajaj, a former Google X scientist and co-founder of Foresite Labs."
"Bezos has been leading the fundraising alongside Bajaj, and, notably, has taken an operational role in the business."
Project Prometheus, led by Jeff Bezos, is close to securing a $10bn fundraising round, which would value the company at $38bn. The venture, launched in November 2025 with $6.2bn in initial funding, aims to develop systems that reason about the physical world, targeting sectors like engineering and robotics. Prometheus has grown to over 120 employees, with a leadership team that includes Vikram Bajaj, a former Google X scientist. The fundraising involves major investors like BlackRock and JPMorgan, marking a significant milestone in early-stage AI funding.
