Simile is a Stanford spinout building AI digital twins that predict human behavior. Its models are trained on real interviews, transactions, and research to mimic decision-making patterns, allowing enterprises to replace or augment expensive focus groups and survey panels with synthetic populations.
Founded by Stanford researchers Joon Park, Michael Bernstein, Percy Liang, and Lainie Yallen, the company already counts CVS Health as an early test customer, using Simile's platform for inventory decisions and earnings-call preparation.
In February 2026 Simile closed a $100M Series A led by Index Ventures, with Bain Capital Ventures, A*, and Hanabi Capital participating. AI researchers Fei-Fei Li and Andrej Karpathy also backed the round.
