Sentient Labs raises $85Mn. Co-Founder is Sandeep Nailwal (Polugon Founder). WTF?

Help me understand - what happened to Polygon? Didn't they raise several 100s of millions from Sequoia etc. That went poof? On to AI next?

"Sentient is a cloud-sourced AI company using blockchain incentives but fundamentally an AI company"

VCs: "Shut up and take my money"

Polygon is still functioning and one of the biggest companies in web3. They are doing big partnerships with big brands of the world like Nike, Starbucks, Stripe, Disney, etc.

Sandeep Nailwal has stepped down from the company and is now only a board member.

Pata wata hota nhi hai kuch logo ko, bass gyan chodne aajate hai comments me.

This is the true face of Indian startup economy. A bunch of grifters and truckloads of black money changing hands. Technology is nowhere to be seen. All these grifters are going to further delay and set back India's progress, while China, Japan, US continue to scale new heights and achieve new breakthroughs

Tyagi emphasized the importance of AI agents for blockchain functions and the need to ensure they perform as expected. He stated that Sentient aims to enable a new AI economy where contributors are rewarded fairly.

Yeh sab kya laga rakha hai

Still confused what are they actually doing. Polygon was hot startup in crypto space

Cope in this thread is unreal. Tum log naukar hi rahoge

This is Founders Fund investing, Peter Thiels fund they don't even invest actively in crypto.

FYI google which other Indian company or Indian founder led company has received funding from Founders Fund. It will be an extremely short list.

If you've had the kind of valuation success polygon had VCs will give you money, because the next guy to come along will help them liquidate some of their investment. A lot comes down to the founders ability to fundraise and this guys proven it. Real businesses and all come much later.
