Time’s Running Out: Invest in Founders with $350M in Exits Combined

What do a rocket scientist, an astronaut, and the co-inventor of the desktop PC have in common? They’re all pioneering the next step in AI together.

It’s called Synthetic Intelligence, which is when a machine truly thinks and learns. You have about three weeks left to invest in the company behind it, New Sapience, while they’re private.

Here’s why you should take advantage of this now:

  • The New Sapience team has $350M in exits and 100 patents combined.

  • Bill Gates has said a company that builds a true AI could be “worth 10 Microsofts.”

  • Their potential market is huge—anyone with a smartphone.

While ChatGPT and other Large Language Models are just rearranging words, this is an opportunity to blaze the trail for a machine that understands.

Take advantage of this opportunity to become a New Sapience shareholder by midnight, March 27.

The Biggest Problem With AI

Today’s artificial intelligence makes mistakes. That’s because it doesn’t truly know anything and cannot learn or think like humans. This is about to change, thanks to New Sapience.

New Sapience is creating what they call "Synthetic Intelligence" that truly comprehends language and explains its reasoning. And the potential here is staggering. Bill Gates says a company that can build true AI would be “worth 10 Microsofts.” Become a New Sapience shareholder before the opportunity ends on March 27th.
