Swiss AI startup General Intuition secures €114 million to bridge gaming, robotics, and drones

Swiss and New York-based AI startup General Intuition has secured a substantial €114 million in seed funding, marking a significant investment in the European AI landscape. This funding round, led by Khosla Ventures and General Catalyst, highlights the growing interest in AI applications, particularly those bridging the gap between gaming, robotics, and drone technology. This investment stands out as one of the largest early-stage AI investments of 2025. General Intuition is a 2025 spin-off from the Dutch video platform Medal, which provides a unique advantage by leveraging over 2 billion gameplay clips uploaded annually from 10 million monthly active users. This vast amount of organically generated data provides an ideal training ground for AI agents. These agents are trained to perform tasks in both virtual and real-world environments, mirroring human actions. This substantial funding round contrasts sharply with typical European investments in the AI and robotics sectors. Several European startups have reported significantly smaller funding rounds, ranging from €3 million to €12 million. General Intuition's success underscores the ambition to scale its research team and development of AI agents that can adapt to both virtual and physical worlds. The company aims to develop agentic systems capable of learning from unstructured video data and build world models for simulating dynamic environments. This approach allows them to understand video content to create solutions that mirror human gameplay in a natural way.
