Ex-Nexar Founders' Plurai Raises $13M Seed to Pretrain AI Agents on Digital-Twin Enterprise Systems

Summary

Plurai, founded by former Nexar engineers Ilan Kadar and Elad Levi, raised a $13M seed led by Team8 with U&I, Velocity and Mercer. The platform builds digital-twin copies of a company's digital systems, maps agent workflows and uses synthetic data to pre-train small open-weight models that integrate with Claude Code, Codex, Copilot and Cursor. Tests with Nvidia and Nebius showed their post-trained models outperforming mid-tier frontier models at lower cost. Kadar previously worked with Waymo on end-to-end driving simulation.
