brain.space, the creator of the first-ever Brain-Data-as-a-Service Ecosystem for exclusive Generative AI Mental Modeling that better understands and predicts human behavior, announced an $11 million Series A Funding Round led by Toyota Ventures, with significant participation by Mangrove Capital Partners, The Group Ventures, and a $3.5 million non-dilutive Grant by the Israel Innovation Authority.
The Series A funding raised will further brain.space’s mission of utilizing standardized Brain Data to develop large mental models (LMMs) that integrate human intelligence with machine learning to quantify a person’s cognitive and emotional states and produce tailor-made solutions that infuse the human element into digital systems.
brain.space has pioneered the Brain-Data-as-a-Service System, including the non-invasive, easily operable Brain Sensei Headset. Requiring only a 3-minute setup and minimal training, the Brain Sensei’s 115 dry EEG (electroencephalogram) sensors operate autonomously and integrate with additional physiological sensors like eye trackers, ECG (electrocardiography), GSR (galvanic skin response), and others to collect high-resolution Brain Data and provide an extensive understanding of a person’s mental and cognitive states.
The company’s patented Brain GPS technology — which maps signals to key functional areas of the brain — applies Machine Learning Modeling to denoise, standardize, and automatically label collected Brain Data for storage and accessibility on the world’s most extensive Brain Cloud.
brain.space’s global network of Data Collection Centers facilitates and scales this process, enabling diversity in samples, the training of more accurate models, and an integral standardized Brain Data source that allows for collaborative research.
brain.space forged a strong partnership with Google. And in May 2024, the Google AI Startups Fund awarded brain.space with an equity-free grant.
And in January 2025, brain.space completed the Google AI Startups Lab program from among a group of early-stage AI startups through the $4 million Google AI Fund, providing them with equity-free capital, access to Google mentorship, VCs, and content around key areas such as AI, Growth, and Leadership.
KEY QUOTES:
“We are building the largest labeled and standardized Brain Database in the world — with great variety and precision — to design exclusive Mental Modeling that gains actionable, data-based insights about humans’ behavior and mental states — such as cognitive load, fatigue, stress, engagement, and focus. The future of smart, adaptive technology isn’t just about automation. It’s about understanding each individual’s mental state. brain.space is innovating impactful Deep Tech neurotechnology to shape a future in which any human-centric digital system involving an end user will employ Mental Models to create a treatment, a product — an experience — that is specifically tailored to them, and in real time.”
“brain.space continues to break new ground in Neurotechnology by deploying exceptionally accurate, standardized Brain Data in Mental Modeling that bridges the gap between the machine and the human being who uses it. This funding represents a significant acceleration of our research and development of hyper-personalized solutions that add demonstrable value, enhance performance, and are highly intuitive and personalized — for both our current revenue-generating Design Partners as well as for new clients.”
– Yair Levy, Co-founder & CEO of brain.space
