Nirva raises $25 million pre-Series A for AI jewellery

The wearable startup adds financing as it prepares a personal companion that turns daily context into journals and reflections.

Nirva announced a $25 million pre-Series A on 22 October 2026, bringing total funding to $33 million.

The company is developing AI-enabled jewellery and companion software for automatic journaling, mood tracking and personal reflection. Its approach combines a device intended for everyday wear with an application that interprets the wearer’s context and returns insights about daily life.

Nirva was founded by Wei Lyu, Jason Chen and Hanying Hu. The funding supports the development and launch of its wearable products.
