Background
Bezos Expeditions co-led Cambridge AI-materials company CuspAI's $400m round, signing term sheets on 20 June 2026 at a reported $2.6bn valuation alongside Kleiner Perkins. The round formally closed in late June at the same valuation with no UK vehicle on the cap table, and the European investment group EQT then entered advanced talks for a further stake.
Founded in 2005, Bezos Expeditions is Jeff Bezos's family office, managing an estimated $12bn in direct investments and personal holdings outside his Amazon stake, separate from Blue Origin, the space company he founded and funds directly. It has backed more than 90 companies since inception, including early stakes in Google, Airbnb and Uber, with 15 unicorns and 13 IPOs among its exits.
Its current portfolio spans deep technology and AI, including Physical Intelligence (robotics), Anduril Industries (defence technology), Synchron (brain-computer interfaces) and Perplexity AI, positioning CuspAI as one of a small number of UK-founded deep-tech companies it has chosen to back directly rather than through a fund. As a US family office rather than a UK-domiciled investor, its stake means CuspAI's dividends and any exit proceeds flow overseas rather than to British capital.
