Ghost AI raises $11 million, led by Andreessen Horowitz, to build Core, a computer designed to run personal AI agents locally. Founded by 19-year-old CEO Zain Javaid and other young entrepreneurs, Ghost equips Core with an Nvidia RTX Pro 4000 SFF Blackwell GPU and software for running open-source models. The device stores encrypted user data locally, with encryption keys held by users, and its first $3,499 batch sells out.
Nineteen-year-old Zain Javaid’s startup Ghost emerges from stealth with an $11 million seed round led by Andreessen Horowitz to build personal AI hardware. Its first product, Core, is a $3,499 computer built for AI agents, with an Nvidia RTX Pro 4000 SFF Blackwell GPU, preinstalled models, and software for managing personal data and tasks. Ghost says models and personal memory run locally, data is encrypted, and users control agent autonomy; preorders open Monday, with shipments scheduled for late October.
