Moonlake AI

We've just raised a $28M seed round to put interactive world-building in everyone's hands. My cofounder Sharon Lee and I converged on the same observation a few months ago: models today are hitting a wall– they lack the practical simulations needed to learn and improve through reinforcement learning. Creators are trapped by complex tools that make building games feel impossibly hard. At Moonlake AI, we're building reasoning models that generate simulations and games—so anyone can create interactive experiences, bring wild ideas to life, and share unforgettable moments with their friends. Moonlake's models and agents don’t just generate— they reason through which representations, tools, and approaches to use for each unique interactive experience. We are a team made up of Stanford CS PhDs, Math Olympiad, ACM ICPC medalists, and researchers with best paper award. We’re hiring for designers, engineers and researchers who are excited about building in the intersection of code generation, (3D) vision and graphics, and RL. – Big thanks to our earliest believers: Mo Islam from Threshold Ventures (formerly DFJ), Shaun Johnson and Christopher Manning from AIX Ventures, and Elvin Hao and Artem Barsukov from NVentures (Nvidia’s venture capital arm), Choon Chong Tay, Yazhuo Chloe Chen, alongside exception angles:    Ian Goodfellow (Researcher, DeepMind) Steve Chen (Founder, Youtube) Naval Ravikant (Founder, Angelist) Jeff Dean (Chief Scientist, Google/Gemini) Guillermo Rauch (Founder, Vercel) Christian Laforte (ex-CTO of Stability AI) Emery Wells (Founder, Frame.io) Julien Chaumond(Cofounder, HuggingFace) Victor Mustar(Head of Product, HuggingFace) Paul Daugherty (ex-CEO Accenture) William Freiberg (CEO of Crux) Jared Leto (Angel Investor in OpenAI, SSI) Mercedes Bent (Venture Partner, LightSpeed) Vanessa Larco (Venture Partner, NEA) Tony Wang (Managing Partner, 500 Global) Sudarshan Sridharan (General Partner, SF1) Panos Madamopoulos-Moraris (Founder Exoscaleton) and many more. – Comment “Join Moonlake” if you want your application to be fast-tracked.
