“I think at CoinFund, our core thesis about why the intersection of Web3 and AI is interesting is because we fundamentally believe that AI – the pipeline that creates AI, the hardware, the availability, the training, the inference, the data – should be an open resource” – CoinFund CEO Jake Brukhman on panel at SuperAI conference this week in Singapore. “It should be open source, it should encourage innovation, and you should not have to be a researcher who must work at a big tech company if you want to do AI research.” The panel, featuring Dynamo AI CEO Vaikkunth Mugunthan and AILTI/C4AIL co-founder Georg Zoeller, was moderated by Kiva CEO Ahmed Rashad. Kiva utilizes AI and Web3 to power data labeling and to build foundational models for niche use cases. Read CoinFund’s thesis on the intersection of onchain AI here: https://lnkd.in/ev3nuzhV

“So a lot of those factors have definitely started to draw more investor dollars towards crypto…that stat, I think last year was around 7.5% percent of all VC dollars went to crypto, prior years was above 10. I think it bounces back, quickly above 10 if not more as, crypto is the most interesting thing with…I forget where I saw it the other day… alien-like returns for some of the success stories and, we certainly have seen some of that.” CIO at CoinFund, Alex Felix was in a new Talking Tokens episode with Jacquelyn Melinek chatting about the state of the crypto VC market, where capital is flowing, and more.
