Compute Labs is supported by NVIDIA Inception VC Alliance and aims to tokenize high-performance GPUs for investment purposes. Their solution allows investors to earn returns through a process called "GPU Restaking."
This funding round highlights the growing investor interest in artificial intelligence (AI) and related infrastructure. Similar projects in this space have recently launched with billion-dollar valuations e.g. Aethir. According to Protocol Labs, Compute Labs has the potential to revolutionize access to AI investments by making them more inclusive. Protocol Labs is a strong believer in the intersection of AI and computing, and they are excited to partner with Compute Labs to develop this new financial ecosystem.
Compute Labs plans to use the funds to expand its team and finalize the development of its first product, which is expected to launch in mid-July.
