Eden Block led the seed round to support the development of a trustless compute network for deep learning.
"Deep learning has revolutionised diverse areas from facial recognition to spy plane radar operation. The core concepts emerged in the ‘50s, but the last decade has seen real world application grow sharply – and this will only increase. With this scale comes existential questions about our work, life, and identity. This, along with ballooning demand for hardware – and fat margins – is why the usual names like AWS and Azure have fought to command such high market share. The result is a market which is more expensive and places control of who-gets-what in the hands of centralised entities. We’ve spoken to a number of companies with staggering cloud compute bills who struggle to purchase outright the hardware that they need; so we designed a better way – superior on price, with unlimited scalability, and no gatekeepers."
The natural health drinks producer has raised funding from Henley Business Angels members to drive international expansion.
"The opportunity to work with Henley Business Angels and Henley Business School was super exciting as they have an excellent track record and are one of the most highly regarded Executive MBA programmes in the world – to be able to tap into that knowledge will be incredibly helpful."
The investment round was led by Crane with backing from fifteen angel investors.
