Andreessen Horowitz Leads $15 Million Seed for AI Data Platform Poseidon

Andreessen Horowitz’s crypto fund has led a $15 million seed financing for Poseidon, a start-up building a decentralized data layer aimed at supplying legally licensed, high-quality datasets for physical artificial-intelligence applications. Other participants in the round were not disclosed. Poseidon was incubated within Story Protocol and will run on that blockchain-based intellectual-property platform. The company says its infrastructure will collect, curate and license real-world data—such as information gathered by robots, autonomous vehicles and voice systems—to alleviate what it calls the biggest bottleneck for next-generation AI models.
