Filecoin founder Juan Benet announced PLC Neurotech, a fund backing founders in brain-computer interfaces, NeuroAI, and connectomics — a space he has invested in since 2021. He argues neurotech now feels like AI did around 2019: it already restores functions, can enhance human capabilities, and will redefine what it means to be human.
