Former Twitter CEO Parag Agrawal announced exclusively on stage at the Cerebral Valley AI Summit that he\u2019s raised $100 million for his AI startup Parallel Web Systems, as he seeks to build out his vision of a web that\u2019s suited for agents in the age of AI.<\/p>\n

Led by Kleiner Perkins and Index Ventures, the Series A round values the company at $740 million post-money. Spark Capital also participated as did previous investors including Khosla Ventures, First Round and Terrain. Mamoon Hamid at KP will join the board.<\/p>\n
