Currently, GAIB has completed two rounds of financing, raising a total of $15M, with a lineup concentrated in leading AI × DeFi institutions:

1) First round Pre-seed ($5M), led by @hack_vc, @FactionVC, @hashed_official, attracting top players like @SpartanGroup, @CMCC_Global, @AnimocaBrands, @NEARFoundation, with the angel list gathering key figures from content, products, and trading circles such as @AlyssaTsai (PANews), @CharlieHusats (Base Layer), @LucasKozinski (Zeus).

2) Second round strategic financing ($10M) led by @ambergroup_io, funds will be directly invested in GPU physical assets on the GAIB platform, promoting large-scale development of financial assetization.

My understanding of why institutions choose GAIB:

Clear narrative + feasible implementation.

GAIB transforms enterprise-level GPUs into on-chain tradable, yield-generating assets, establishing a new track of 'AI financial infrastructure', three core points.

GPU → Tokenization → Yield Assets (AID/sAID)

Modules cover stablecoins, lending, structured products.

DeFi integration has been implemented, Alpha Vault deposits exceed $38M.

Investing in companies fundamentally means investing in teams.

Kony Wong | CEO @konyk001, former L2 Iterative venture partner, strategic investment at Huobi, invested in multiple Infra projects, has been in the VC circle for many years, is a project selector, background from UPenn & HKU, understands projects and financing.

Alex Yeh @alex_yehya | Co-founder, came from IVC partner background, has had early interactions with multiple participating institutions, primarily responsible for financial design.

Jun Liu | CTO, former founder of Pelith & Technical VP at Sora Ventures, serial entrepreneur + technical expert, Cornell PhD, skilled in combining financial assets with on-chain structures.

Mathilda Sun @Mathilda_Sun_ | Strategic Head, came from Binance Labs, Mask Network, and Aligned, rich experience in ecosystem building and Asian market growth, familiar with BD and community dynamics.

Institutional style and GAIB's fit is precise:

@hack_vc / @FactionVC: Heavy investors betting on DePIN and the financialization of Infra, GAIB is a natural extension.

@ambergroup_io: Pioneer of structured products, focusing on the repackaging ability of GPU yield assets.

@Hashed / @SpartanGroup / @CMCC_Global: Deep resource network in Asia, empowering GAIB's cross-border computing asset flow.

@AnimocaBrands: Key resource entry point for AI applications in content.
