space tech startup

Basketball star Kevin Durant invested $100,000 in an AI startup eight years ago, a bet that has since grown alongside Nvidia's $12.9 billion involvement in the space. Reports are highlighting how Durant's early venture move proved remarkably prescient as artificial intelligence companies have surged in value, drawing attention to athlete investors in tech.

A student of Masters Union, the Gurgaon-based business school, has raised $2 million for a space technology startup. The funding round puts the young founder among a growing group of Indian students building deep-tech ventures while still in education. The investor names and planned use of funds have not yet been detailed in the initial reports.
