Nirva raises $33M and plans $249 AI pendant that listens only to wearer

Nirva announced a $25M pre‑Series A round, adding to an $8M raise earlier this year for a total of $33M. The company will ship its $249 ambient AI pendant, weighing about eight grams with a three‑day battery, by the end of the year.

Benchmarks are the company's own; not independently verified.

Why it matters

Prepare launch plans for the $249 pendant; users will expect all‑day wear and three‑day battery life.
