## About

The company will use the funding to develop an AI wearable designed as a necklace or bracelet that continuously listens to the user and creates a life journal, coach, and companion.

Founded in 2025 in San Francisco, California, United States, Nirva Labs provides AI jewelry and ambient journaling technology for the consumer wellness and personal AI space. The company was founded by Wei Lyu, Jason (Qianyuan) Chen and Hanying Hu, combining Meta Reality Labs wearable experience with jewelry design expertise. South Park Commons identifies Nirva as a 2025 portfolio company and first investor, and Lightspeed led its USD 8.0 million seed round announced on July 9, 2026. As of August 2026, the company is led by co-founder and CEO Wei Lyu.

Nirva works with consumers to provide jewelry-grade AI wearables for self-awareness, journaling and personal guidance. Its initial product is an AI-enhanced pendant worn as a necklace or bracelet that listens only to the user’s voice, understands patterns and behaviors, converts life context into journal-style summaries, tracks moods, maps social relationships and offers guidance across work, relationships and wellness. The offering is built by a founding team with hardware, software and design backgrounds, and the company is hiring engineers, designers and marketers to enhance the product.

The company’s revenue streams are not disclosed. Public materials describe Nirva as a consumer AI jewelry company and state that users can join an email list for preorder information, but they do not publish pricing, subscription plans, retail partners or enterprise contracts. Based on disclosed information only, Nirva appears pre-commercial or early commercial, and no reliable source confirms whether revenue will come from device sales, subscriptions, services or partnerships.

The company will use the July 2026 funding to develop an AI wearable designed as a necklace or bracelet that continuously listens to the user and creates a life journal, coach, and companion.
