About
Recursive Superintelligence is a research-stage AI startup building self-improving AI systems aimed at achieving superintelligence. Founded by Richard Socher (former Chief Scientist at Salesforce and founder of You.com) and Tim Rocktäschel (AI professor at University College London and formerly principal scientist at Google DeepMind), the roughly 20-person team also includes former OpenAI researchers and alumni from Google and Meta. The company aims to build AI that continuously improves itself without human involvement — an approach many researchers consider a critical path to superintelligence far surpassing human capabilities. The startup raised $500M at a $4B pre-money valuation led by GV (formerly Google Ventures) and Nvidia, with the round oversubscribed enough to potentially reach $1B.
