Flat Capital AB (publ) (“Flat”) invests approx. 7.4 MSEK in the AI and robotics company Physical Intelligence (“Pi”) in connection with a new financing round, and has thus invested a total of approx. 18.1 MSEK in the company. Other prominent investors in Pi include Jeff Bezos' investment firm Bezos Expeditions, OpenAI Startup Fund, Sequoia Capital, Khosla Ventures and Thrive Capital. Flat's investment is made through a Special Purpose Vehicle (“SPV”) structure that entails administrative costs in line with market practice.
Flat has, after the new investment of approx. 7.4 MSEK, invested a total of approx. 18.1 MSEK in the company, as it previously made two partial investments of approx. 6.3 MSEK and approx. 4.4 MSEK in connection with the previous financing round. The new investment of approx. 7.4 MSEK is made at a new higher valuation compared to the two previous investments.
Flat's investment in Pi is made through a so-called SPV, a structure that entails certain recurring administrative costs as well as a profit sharing mechanism upon realization of any profit. The costs of the SPV structure are considered to be in line with market conditions and will not materially affect Flat's overall costs. Annual running costs are estimated to be less than 0.05% of the net asset value at the time of investment, for the combined investments in Pi.
