Three weeks after stepping back from day-to-day operations at DeepMind, he told <a href=\"https:\/\/fortune.com\/2026\/08\/05\/demis-hassabis-steps-down-google-deepmind-ai-shakeup\/\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer nofollow\" target=\"_blank\">Fortune<\/a> he would spend more time at Isomorphic Labs, which closed a $2.1 billion Series B round in May 2026 and carries pharma partnership ceilings totalling $3 billion with Eli Lilly and Novartis.<\/p>\n<p style=\"margin:0 0 0.5rem;font-weight:600\">Quick context<\/p>\n<p style=\"margin:0\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.startuphub.ai\/people\/demis-hassabis\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\">Demis Hassabis<\/a> co-founded DeepMind in 2010 and sold it to Google in 2014.

StartupHub.ai data shows the lab employs 8,831 people and records $1.33 billion in annual revenue, a figure that understates its contribution to Alphabet because most of DeepMind&#8217;s output flows into products rather than a standalone revenue line. The clearest commercial expression of that work is the Gemini product suite, which reached 950 million monthly active users as of Alphabet&#8217;s Q2 2026 earnings, with roughly 90 percent of the Fortune 100 running Gemini Enterprise, according to an <a href=\"https:\/\/blog.google\/company-news\/inside-google\/message-ceo\/alphabet-earnings-q2-2026\/\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer nofollow\" target=\"_blank\">Alphabet earnings blog post from July 2026<\/a>.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Demis Hassabis now holds three formal roles inside Alphabet&#8217;s AI organization: Chairman of Google DeepMind, CEO of Isomorphic&hellip;\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":148774,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[9],"tags":[306,25,5044,132,7543,3326,5070,186],"class_list":["post-148773","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-google","tag-ai-startups","tag-artificial-intelligence","tag-deepmind","tag-google","tag-google-deepmind","tag-investors","tag-startup-funding","tag-tech-news"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/ai\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/148773","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/ai\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/ai\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/ai\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/ai\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=148773"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/ai\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/148773\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/ai\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/148774"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/ai\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=148773"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/ai\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=148773"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/ai\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=148773"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
