Elon Musk’s Neuralink is in early talks to raise about $500 million at a pre-money valuation of $8.5 billion, according to Bloomberg. The round would imply a $9 billion post-money valuation if finalized. Neuralink was last valued at $3.5 billion in November 2023, per PitchBook. CEO Jared Birchall, who also manages Musk’s family office, leads the effort. The company aims to commercialize brain-computer interface technology to help individuals with paralysis and potentially augment human capabilities.
