Nirva raises $33m for AI pendant

On 22 October 2026, TechCrunch reported that Nirva has closed a $25m pre-Series A round; together with $8m raised earlier in the year, total funding reaches $33m. Its first device is a pendant weighing about 8 grams with up to three days of battery life, wearable as a bracelet. Using a voiceprint enrolled at sign-up, it captures only the wearer's speech and by default does not retain audio or transcript data. The device costs $249, with pre-orders opening in November and shipments to early users before the end of the year.
