Sentient Labs has burst onto the tech scene, backed Polygon co-founder Sandeep Nailwal, Peter Thiel’s Founders Fund and others. This new startup aims to revolutionize AI development by combining <a href="https://coingape.com/glossary/blockchain/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">blockchain technology</a> with artificial intelligence.

Sentient Labs has successfully raised $85 million in seed funding, co-led by crypto venture capital firms <a href="https://coingape.com/tag/pantera-capital/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Pantera Capital</a> and Framework Ventures, with participation from Peter Thiel’s Founders Fund. This places the company among the top 10 largest seed rounds for AI startups, according to Dealroom data. 
Founded in Singapore just months ago, Sentient Labs is developing an open-source platform that aims to allow developers to monetize their contributions to emerging <a href="https://coingape.com/glossary/artificial-intelligence/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">AI</a> tools such as chatbots and enterprise software. Co-founder Sandeep Nailwal, also known for his role at Polygon Labs, positions Sentient Labs as a decentralized alternative to major tech companies in the AI space, addressing concerns about the centralization of AI power. 
The funding precedes Sentient’s planned testnet launch in the third quarter of this year. Additionally, a new AI venture studio called Sensys has been established to support the Sentient ecosystem, focusing on nurturing tools and companies within the Sentient platform. This comprehensive approach demonstrates Sentient Labs’ commitment to creating a robust, decentralized AI ecosystem.
