AI Startup Instinct Hits $2.5 Billion Valuation After Series B
A 23-year-old founder has vaulted his startup, Instinct, to a $2.5 billion valuation after securing $250 million in a fresh funding round. Despite the company being less than a year old, the aggressive capital injection led by Index Ventures and Benchmark underscores the market's relentless appetite for automated personal assistants.

Security-conscious observers have flagged the startup's terms of service as potentially invasive, questioning the safety of granting an AI agent deep access to personal digital ecosystems.
