“Phia,” an AI-powered startup founded by Bill Gates’ daughter Phoebe Gates and climate activist Sophia Kianni, has raised $8 million in a funding round featuring participation from several high-profile figures. The round was led by Kleiner Perkins, with support from celebrities such as Hailey Bieber, Chris Jenner, and Sheryl Sandberg.
The startup offers users a variety of features, including price comparisons, finding visually similar products, estimating resale values, and providing information about price drops. Phia has quickly gained 500,000 users. The funds raised will be used to expand the team and develop an AI assistant that can provide a more personalized experience for users.
