Bill Ackman's Pershing Square Capital Management led the raise alongside the Ackman Oxman Institute and an unnamed life sciences fund. The deal values the company at just over $1 billion, according to a New York Times report. Precision did not disclose additional terms of the round.\n\nBrain-computer interface funding used to be Neuralink's spotlight to lose. Now a rival is racing toward the same market with a very public financier behind it, and that matters more than the dollar figure: an activist investor known for corporate proxy fights, not biotech bets, putting his name on a neurotech round is a signal of how mainstream implant hardware has become to non-specialist money.\n\nValuations built on one unnamed backer and a still-experimental implant are easy to announce. The real test is whether Precision's hardware works outside a lab before the hype catches up with it.","[\"brain-computer interface\",\"funding\",\"neurotech\",\"bill ackman\"]","2026-09-24T18:27:49.000Z","2026-09-24T19:53:29.613Z","2026-09-24T19:53:34.007Z","published",null,[24],{"id":25,"reviewer":26,"round":27,"reason":28,"status":29},"editor-r1","editor",1,"Replace the relative time reference 'Thursday' with the actual absolute date of the announcement.","resolved","startups",[32,33,34,35],"brain-computer interface","funding","neurotech","bill ackman",[37],{"name":38,"url":39},"The Next Web","https:\u002F\u002Fthenextweb.com\u002Fnews\u002Fprecision-neuroscience-250m-series-d-1bn-valuation-ackman",0,{"sections":42},[43,48,53,58,63,68,73,78,83,88,92,97,102,107],{"name":44,"slug":45,"count":46,"latest_published_at":47},"AI","ai",4436,"2026-09-24T19:11:40.000Z",{"name":49,"slug":50,"count":51,"latest_published_at":52},"Security","security",728,"2026-09-24T17:14:12.000Z",{"name":54,"slug":55,"count":56,"latest_published_at":57},"Policy","policy",385,"2026-09-24T19:07:19.000Z",{"name":59,"slug":60,"count":61,"latest_published_at":62},"Deals","deals",234,"2026-09-24T18:24:41.000Z",{"name":64,"slug":65,"count":66,"latest_published_at":67},"Hardware","hardware",180,"2026-09-24T19:45:41.000Z",{"name":69,"slug":70,"count":71,"latest_published_at":72},"Science","science",138,"2026-09-24T18:24:52.000Z",{"name":74,"slug":75,"count":76,"latest_published_at":77},"Consumer Tech","consumer-tech",128,"2026-09-24T19:24:34.000Z",{"name":79,"slug":80,"count":81,"latest_published_at":82},"Software","software",87,"2026-09-24T17:02:02.000Z",{"name":84,"slug":85,"count":86,"latest_published_at":87},"Dev Tools","dev-tools",79,"2026-09-22T22:21:13.000Z",{"name":89,"slug":30,"count":90,"latest_published_at":91},"Startups",71,"2026-09-24T20:45:00.000Z",{"name":93,"slug":94,"count":95,"latest_published_at":96},"Gaming","gaming",46,"2026-09-24T17:52:29.000Z",{"name":98,"slug":99,"count":100,"latest_published_at":101},"General","general",44,"2026-09-23T22:37:28.000Z",{"name":103,"slug":104,"count":105,"latest_published_at":106},"Reviews","reviews",29,"2026-09-24T13:00:00.000Z",{"name":108,"slug":109,"count":110,"latest_published_at":111},"How-To","how-to",6,"2026-06-16T09:00:00.000Z"]
