Crypto AI startup Mira has emerged from stealth with a $9 million seed round co-led by Bitkraft Ventures and Framework Ventures. The fundraising also attracted participation from Accel, Mechanism Capital, Folius Ventures and AJ Scaramucci’s SALT Fund.
The company is building a decentralised machine-learning infrastructure that helps developers quickly build AI apps.
Mira co-founder Karan Sirdesai said the company’s AI infrastructure includes a library of a toolkit with preconfigured instructions for building AI-native apps.
The workflow instructions are maintained by a community of developers, who can benefit by monetising their contributions.
“AI is moving at such a rapid pace that even though we are witnessing innovations flower around us, the average developer is being left behind due to poor infrastructure to be able to consume AI,” Sirdesai told The Block.
Mira encourages community ownership by contributors whilst maintaining a transparent attribution and settlement for value flows in the network, Sirdesai said. “Every stakeholder knows what they are paying for and how they are monetizing.”
The startup has already onboarded more than a dozen projects across both Web2 and Web3 domains, with several set to launch their AI apps in the coming months.
According to Sirdesai one of the first projects to use Mira, Klock, a crypto chatbot built on 500+ static and real-time datasets has already entered the close beta phase.
With a workforce of about 25 people spread across Singapore and India, Mira plans to use some of the fresh capital to hire at least five more employees to join its engineering team.
