About Recursive Superintelligence
Recursive Superintelligence is a UK-based AI startup founded by former engineers from Google DeepMind and OpenAI, including Richard Socher (former Chief Scientist at Salesforce) and Tim Rocktäschel (AI Professor at University College London and former Principal Scientist at Google DeepMind). The roughly 20-person team is developing a new kind of AI that keeps improving itself without human involvement — a concept known as recursive self-improvement, widely considered a key pathway to superintelligence. The company raised at least $500 million at a $4 billion pre-money valuation in April 2026, led by GV (formerly Google Ventures) with participation from Nvidia.
