How we verified this
Confirmed this is the correct entity matching the 'research grade, open-leaning' note: Ross Taylor's General Reasoning / gr.inc, building open RL environments (OpenReward, Open Reward Standard), distinct from the same-named 'General Analysis' (a separate $10M-seed agentic-security startup) and 'General Intuition' (a $133.7M gaming-RL lab), neither of which the draft confused. Verified founding year 2025 across LinkedIn, careers page, and SEC Form D. Headcount ~10 / 11-50 band confirmed via LinkedIn snippet, corrected the draft's implication of larger scale is not an issue (already small). Key downgrades: total_raised and last_round moved from 'confirmed' to 'reported' since the SEC Form D reports amount sold in a single offering (not lifetime total) with no stage label; Crunchbase corroborates ~$10.9M (Aug 2025). No investors are disclosed anywhere credible, kept unknown. notable_customers corrected: NVIDIA/Nebius/Eigent (and the previously-omitted OpenAI and Meta) appear on the vendor's own OpenReward page as environment providers/contributors, NOT verified paying customers, so all remain self-claimed; flagged frontier-lab ties for NVIDIA, OpenAI, and Meta. HQ clarified as London operating hub with US-registered legal entity (General Reasoning, Inc., San Francisco). SOC2/certifications/valuation/revenue correctly left unknown. Overall confidence: medium.
