Personal AI agent startup Instinct is reportedly raising at a $30B valuation, less than a year after launch.
The valuation ramp has been dramatic: $100M first round → $500M with Kleiner Perkins → $2.5B with Index and Benchmark → $10B Series C from Sequoia, Benchmark and Coatue just last month → now $30B, tripling in a month.
Founded by 23-year-old Noah Shinn (ex-Sierra), the product runs errands for users via text and calls. It remains invite-only and free, yet Shinn says nearly $1B a year already flows through it.
