AI Fund Situational Awareness has informed investors that it is temporarily not accepting new capital.
TechFlow news, August 8, according to Wallstreetcn, the AI fund Situational Awareness was previously disclosed to be seeking new capital injection due to significant losses caused by a sharp correction in AI-related stocks, but the fund's blow-up experience not only did not become a stain in Silicon Valley, instead it strengthened founder Leopold Aschenbrenner's "hero persona". Many Silicon Valley investors view it as an opportunity to "buy the dip", continuing to endorse this investor who transformed from a former OpenAI researcher. Currently, the fund has informed investors that it is temporarily not accepting new capital, but external enthusiasm has not subsided because of this; senior venture capitalist Elad Gil even publicly announced applying to invest in Aschenbrenner's fund for the first time.
In addition, Morgan Stanley, which previously refused to provide prime brokerage services for Situational Awareness, has changed its stance and plans to accept the fund as a prime brokerage client within the next few weeks.
