Sogni AI, a decentralized creative AI platform, has raised $2 million in funding. In a press release shared with Cryptowisser, Sogni AI revealed that the funding round was co-led by Comma3 Ventures and Republic Ventures, with the participation of Contango Digital, Oyster Ventures, ARC, DEXT Force Ventures, Nosana, Formless Capital, Gecko Ventures, and more Web3 investors and industry veterans.
The funding will boost the development of Supernet, Sogni’s Decentralized Physical Infrastructure Network (DePIN), empowering users to create professional-grade visuals and videos through its innovative platform effortlessly.
Established by former executives from CoinMarketCap, Sogni AI introduces Supernet, a decentralized GPU network designed to support AI-powered content creation. The network offers rendering speeds up to 176 times faster than traditional cloud-based services by distributing workloads across a decentralized infrastructure.
According to the team, Sogni AI addresses the growing demand for decentralized and accessible AI tools within the $300 billion creative economy. Current AI solutions are often centralized, expensive, and subject to access restrictions. By leveraging Web3 and decentralized infrastructure, Sogni AI seeks to democratize AI-driven content creation.
While commenting on this funding round, Mauvis Ledford, CEO of Sogni AI, said,
"Sogni’s Web3 applications are fast, well-designed, and optimized for parallel processing—unlike other “DePIN+AI” startups focused solely on privacy. Our Supernet generates 16 AI images as fast as one, in under 5 seconds—outpacing centralized AI tools. With modular AI, on-demand GPUs, and an open-source SDK, Sogni makes AI faster, cheaper, and more accessible—no cloud fees, no limits. Whether you're an artist, developer, or GPU provider, Sogni delivers speed, control, and rewards to fuel innovation."
Allen Day, Head of Web3 Ecosystem at Google added that,
"Sogni’s decentralized approach is a powerful example of how AI can be both open and scalable."
Tal Cohen, former Kraken US CEO also said,
"I’m excited to back a team that puts community and creator empowerment at the forefront."
Sogni AI’s platform is expected to attract artists and creative professionals, application developers and Web3 enthusiasts, GPU owners interested in monetizing idle resources, digital content creators and enterprises seeking cost-effective AI solutions.
Sogni seeks to democratize Creative AI, empowering anyone to effortlessly generate stunning, high-quality visuals, captivating videos, and more with minimal setup. By combining user-friendly applications, powerful developer tools, and robust token economy, Sogni is redefining the creative process, all the while staying true to its foundational values of decentralization and community driven innovation.
Armed with $2 million in fresh funding, Sogni is poised to accelerate the growth of its Supernet, onboard a diverse network of GPU Workers, and execute its ambitious roadmap.
