General Intuition raises USD 134 million
General Intuition, a start-up with teams in Geneva and New York, closed a USD 133.7 million funding round. The spin-off from Dutch company Medal uses video interaction to build AI foundation models for environments that require deep spatial and temporal reasoning. Two of the co-founders are based in Geneva.
Today, the most powerful foundation models are trained on written words. However, if AI should acquire the capacity to perceive, anticipate, and improvise, it has to obtain a general intuition of reality. General Intuition was launched on the conviction that the next breakthroughs in intelligence research will come from interactive video data, and that the start-up is in a unique position to discover them by building on the strength of Medal, the world’s largest and fastest-growing platform for gaming moments.
Every year, Medal players capture billions of gameplay clips—each representing a unique, action-packed highlight. Across countless environments, this diversity leads to uniquely capable agentic systems.
For the past year, the team worked on:
- Agents capable of deep spatial and temporal reasoning,
- World models that provide training environments for those agents, and
- Video understanding with a focus on transfer beyond games.
The goal is not to replace game developers, designers, or artists, but to drastically improve the gameplay across existing games—and to create entirely new, previously impossible experiences.
General Intuition announced a seed round of USD 133.7 million. Investors include Khosla Ventures, General Catalyst and The Raine Group.
With Vincent Micheli and Eloi Alonso two of the co-founders are based in Geneva. CEO Pim de Witte and the larger part of the team is based in New York.
