| On-device SDK (developer suite) for running highly optimized inference, fine-tuning, and operating LLMs and other deep learning models on the device. We aim to make it easy for developers to choose and route the query to the right model and deploy it to the device in a couple of clicks.Mirai is addressing a significant gap in on-device AIinference and training. Current cloud-based models face high latency, privacy concerns, and reliance on constant connectivity. Developers also struggle with high costs for personalization (e.g., $100M per year for 1M MAU) which is the most crucial pain point now and a core of our GTM. There’s no existing developer-friendly solution for on-device mobile AI, fine-tuning, and management. Our vision involves expanding from a robust SDK to include a developer console for model management, benchmarks, and fine-tuning. | $10M / Seed / Feb 19, 2026 | ||

About Uncork Capital
For more than 20 years, Uncork has focused on one stage: seed. Our partners have invested in over 290 companies, with more than 100 meaningful outcomes and $60B+ in enterprise value created — including Fitbit (NYSE: FIT, Google), Sendgrid (NYSE: SEND, Twilio), Eventbrite (NYSE: EB), Poshmark (NASD: POSH), and Postmates (UBER), as well as fast-growing startups like [Loft Orbital](https://loftorbital.com/), [LaunchDarkly,](https://launchdarkly.com/) [Human Interest](https://humaninterest.com/), [Gamma](https://gamma.app/), [GPTZero](https://gptzero.me/), [Tailscale](https://tailscale.com/), [Numeral](https://www.numeral.io/), [Ivo](https://www.ivo.ai/), [Coder](https://coder.com/), [Anything](https://www.anything.com/), [Hallow](https://hallow.com/), [ClassDojo](https://www.classdojo.com/), [Wrapbook](https://www.wrapbook.com/), and [Carrot Fertility](https://www.get-carrot.com/). We invest in companies using AI and emerging technologies to create leverage, unlock scale, and push industries forward. We're typically the first major check on the cap table, often leading seed rounds with an initial investment of $3M-$5M. We keep terms simple and transparent, because a clean term sheet makes a strong partnership. We look for team, TAM, and tailwinds, but conviction in founder–market fit comes above all else. We back founders who bring sharp insight into their markets and the drive to build what others can’t yet see. There’s no single playbook for building a company. Every journey looks different, but our role stays the same: a steady partner who shows up early, knows when to deliver hard truths, and stays engaged long after the round closes.
