NeoSapien raises $2M to Boost AI Wearable Ecosystem
Analytics India Magazine (Smruti S)
NeoSapien, the AI-native wearable startup, has closed a $2 million seed round led by Merak Ventures. Individual investors, including Awais Ahmed (founder, Pixxel), Anupam Mittal (founder, Shaadi.com), Sameer Mehta (co-founder, boAt), Namita Thapar (Emcure Pharmaceuticals) and Aprameya Radhakrishna (CEO, Koo), participated in the round.
The startup was founded in 2024 by brothers Dhananjay Yadav and Aryan Yadav.
It said the fresh capital will be used to accelerate product development, boost market visibility and expand its team across functions. NeoSapien’s flagship product, Neo 1, acts as an AI assistant that captures everyday conversations and actions in real time.
Unlike basic voice tools that handle only one task at a time, Neo 1 works in the background, remembers past interactions, understands context as it builds, and generates insights on its own.
The startup highlighted the product’s multilingual capability and said it supports more than 100 languages, from Kannada to Mandarin. It combines contextual intelligence with custom hardware to process interactions in real time.
The founders aim to build an operating system for AI assistants across various form factors such as glasses, pendants, watches, and rings, with NeoOS as the core software. Its NeoCore SDK will allow businesses and developers to create applications on top of this intelligence layer.
“We’re building technology that fades into the background so you can stay present in your life,” Dhananjay Yadav said in a statement. He further observed that the mental energy people spend trying to remember past conversations, retain long-term context, and integrate disparate data is considerable. And hence their product Neo 1 handles that seamlessly, freeing up human intelligence for what actually matters, Dhananjay noted.
Lead investor Merak Ventures believes that NeoSapien is by far the top contender in this segment. “Seldom has India had a chance to participate in a global, tectonic shift, but with PAIAs (Personal AI Assistant), it has a real shot at doing so. NeoSapien is by far the top contender to take India there,” Sheetal Bahl, founding partner at Merak Ventures, said.
He acknowledged that the founders have achieved something incredible by bringing a consumer product from India to market in less than a year with a paltry sum of money.
“We believe NeoOS will power hundreds of millions of upcoming AI consumer wearables sold in India and across the world every year,” he said.
NeoSapien is positioning itself as a next-generation AI company focused on wearable intelligence, blending adaptive technology with human intuition.
With its proprietary “Second Brain” OS and privacy-first approach, the startup aims to make AI-native wearables a global standard, transforming how people think, work, and live in the age of context-aware AI.
