🦄 Unicorner Startup of the Week: Gensyn

✍️ Notes from the Editors

Today’s article is brought to you by Jotform. Read more below on how they’re driving new users for 20 million customers with the power of forms.

Okay, yeah. Totally see it. Blockchain, machine learning, AI—at first glance, Gensyn seems like one of those companies that tried to game investors using as many buzzwords as they could.

Here’s the thing. There’s a difference between companies that claim to be building something relevant and companies that are. Gensyn falls into the latter category. Why? Computing power gates access to ML for many amateur engineers. Blockchain (more specifically, decentralized computing resources) can be a very real solution in a world dominated by cloud companies like AWS. Take a look for yourself and let us know what you think in a reply.

All that said, after conversations with founders Harry and Ben, we’re super excited to bring Gensyn to you today. Enjoy!

Collecting ML compute power with blockchain

Gensyn is a London-based startup that aims to democratize machine learning and AI development by uniting the world’s compute resources into a global supercluster, a combined, massive computing platform where resources (like processing power) are pooled together. Gensyn utilizes blockchain technology to verify the proper execution of the computational tasks executed on the devices it relies on, the power of which it later distributes to engineers, researchers, and academics.

🔮 Our Analysis

Gensyn’s decision to combine blockchain with machine learning is a testament to its forward-thinking approach. The tech industry has seen both of these technologies rise independently, but their merger promises potential synergies that could revolutionize computational efficiency, mostly having to deal with the training of AI and ML models. Its P2P network provides ease of access to everyone seeking to be involved. The company’s goal of opening the gates of AI and ML data training beyond AWS and Azure users adds to its strong value proposition, as well as a mission that goes beyond profit. In fact, because Gensyn is building a protocol, it operates as a non-profit entity, further solidifying its position as a team with a humanitarian purpose. Gensyn can capitalize on their case for a strong development team to later take on a for-profit journey.
