Guantao advises Mindverse on tis Pre-A round of financing
Personal intelligence company Mindverse has recently completed its Pre-A round of financing, led by Ant Group, with participation from Sequoia China and other well-known investment institutions. Mindverse’s total cumulative financing has exceeded USD 20 million. Following its product launch in August 2025, Macaron AI, a flagship product under Mindverse, has attracted broad market attention. Mindverse seeks to address the key challenge of enabling large language models to deliver highly personalized outputs by leveraging LoRA technology, aiming to provide each user with a model tailored to their individual needs. Within Mindverse’s technical architecture, LoRA functions as a continuously trainable parameter layer capable of carrying long-term memory and personality traits, allowing the model to continue learning based on user feedback even after pre-training.
Based on publicly available information and industry observations, only a limited number of teams worldwide are understood to have achieved LoRA-based reinforcement learning at the trillion-parameter scale. In addition to Mindverse, such teams include Thinking Machines Lab, founded by OpenAI’s former CTO.
As Mindverse’s long-term legal counsel, Guantao provided comprehensive legal services for its Pre-A financing, including transaction structuring, due diligence support, participation in negotiations, drafting and revising transaction documents, and assistance with closing.
This project is led by Guantao partner Huang Yan. The core team members included partner Zhou Wanning, Li Wenhao, and Li Jiayu.
