Alibaba Group-backed (BABA) Moonshot AI reached a $35 billion valuation after closing a $3.5 billion funding round, Bloomberg reported Wednesday, citing sources familiar with the matter.
The financing exceeded the Chinese artificial intelligence startup's initial target of $1 billion to $2 billion, according to the report. Bloomberg said Moonshot AI is now approaching investors about another fundraising that could increase its pre-money valuation to about $50 billion ahead of a potential Hong Kong initial public offering.
The report said existing investors, including Alibaba, participated in the latest financing.
Moonshot AI did not immediately respond to MT Newswires' request for a comment.
