@thisismoney: A 25 year old British AI chip founder has become Europe’s youngest self made billionaire after his startup soared to a £2.4 billion valuation. 🤖💷 James Dacombe founded London based AI chip company Olix in 2024 after previously dropping out of school to launch brain monitoring startup CoMind. Olix has now raised around £230 million from investors including chip designer Arm, Netflix co founder Reed Hastings and the UK government’s Sovereign AI fund. The latest funding round reportedly tripled the company’s valuation in just six months. Forbes estimates Dacombe owns around 30% of Olix alongside a 12% stake in CoMind, pushing his estimated fortune into billionaire territory. He is now one of just 11 self made billionaires worldwide under the age of 30. #ThisIsMoney #Money #News #UK
