2. Funding is $1 Billion at a $5 Billion Valuation
   • Please note that SSI has not confirmed the valuation
3. SSI Co-Founders are Ilya Sutskever (Co-Founder and former Chief Scientist of OpenAI), Daniel Gross, and Daniel Levy
4. SSI is an American company with offices in Palo Alto and Tel Aviv
5. SSI says its sole focus is to achieve Safe Superintelligence
