Prentis, new AI lab co-founded by Reid Hoffman, Mark Pincus in talks to raise $100M
Prentis is pitching a $1 billion valuation around computer-use agents for office work.
TechCrunch says the April-launched lab is in talks to raise $100 million, citing two people familiar with the discussions. The company says it is training models to automate workflows across documents and enterprise systems, with examples including insurance claims and customs-duty refund exceptions. Its pitch materials claim up to $50 million in signed customer contracts and lower task costs than frontier APIs, but TechCrunch says it has not verified the benchmark results. Prentis did not respond to TechCrunch’s request for comment. TechCrunch AI's note
