The AI revolution has unshackled human imagination, but transforming a vision into a thriving business still requires a massive amount of time, capital, and diverse expertise. Millions of would-be entrepreneurs are blocked not by lack of groundbreaking ideas, but because the infrastructure needed to fully launch and scale as a single operator doesn't exist. M31 Ventures recently led Sentigen's latest funding round to fix that.
NEW YORK, April 22, 2025 /PRNewswire-PRWeb/ -- The AI revolution has unshackled human imagination, but transforming a vision into a thriving business still requires a massive amount of time, capital, and diverse expertise. Millions of would-be entrepreneurs are blocked not by lack of groundbreaking ideas, but because the infrastructure needed to fully launch and scale as a single operator doesn't exist.
M31 Ventures recently led Sentigen's latest funding round to fix that.
The Sentigen Paradigm
Sentigen is the operating system for the autonomous economy. It turns raw ideas into a functioning startup—from development to deployment—after just one conversation with your personal AI cofounder. While you sleep, Sentigen builds, harnessing blockchain technology to unlock immediate value creation and revenue streams for solo founders.
Sam Altman has placed a bet on when the first one-person, billion-dollar company will enter the scene.
Sentigen has dramatically tilted the odds in his favor.
Why M31 Ventures Invested
When M31 Ventures' David Attermann was introduced to Sentigen, the first person he met wasn't a person at all. It was Sentigen's AI entity Kyra, who led a fascinating discourse on the future of Web3 AI (view it here). That exchange, a glimpse into the future, led to a meeting with Sentigen's human co-founder, Galen Oakes, and Attermann joining as advisor. Six months into building together, M31 Ventures led Sentigen's pre-seed round, cementing their conviction in Sentigen's ability to redefine entrepreneurship through autonomy.
M31's portfolio is a meticulously curated arsenal of infrastructure for autonomous systems—compute, storage, and querying layers that Attermann calls "compute Legos."
"We've been assembling a full-stack portfolio of decentralized AI infrastructure, and Sentigen checks every box for what we've been hoping developers would build on top of it."
Sentigen is the first true application layer on this decentralized stack, and for M31 Ventures, the investment is more than a bet on a single idea; it's a bet on a machine that can catalyze millions of ideas.
The Road Ahead
The alliance between Sentigen and M31 Ventures is built on a shared ethos: AI and humanity in harmony, not just for increasing productivity, but to reimagine the very nature of work.
"It's rare to meet someone who's not afraid of truly big, visionary ideas," says Oakes. "David understood how I think. He didn't need to be convinced."
The teams are now accelerating toward the following milestones:
- Forging strategic integrations across M31's portfolio, including decentralized cloud pioneers like io.net and Bless.
- Unveiling Sentigen's first release, an intuitive productivity automation suite, now open to beta testers (join at sentigen.ai).
Help Shape the Future
Sentigen isn't just for crypto-native founders. Its AI-as-a-Service platform abstracts Web3 complexities, accepts fiat, and welcomes everyone from experienced developers to everyday dreamers, helping turn concepts into companies.
"This is about democratizing creation and giving everyone a chance to participate in value creation in the AI economy," explains Oakes.
Whether you're a builder with a big idea, a curious community member ready to test your thesis, or an investor looking to back the next generation of AI-native companies, Sentigen is building the playground.
