AI talent is spread wider than GPU supply. @hyperbolic_labs connects the two, turning fragmented capacity across 300+ providers into one unified platform.
250,000+ builders use the platform today. The $30M Series A1, led by @intel CEO Lip-Bu Tan’s @walden_catalyst, was oversubscribed.
@LongHashVC has backed @hyperbolic_labs since seed. Congratulations to @zjasper and the team for this amazing milestone.
We’ve raised an oversubscribed $30M Series A1 led by @walden_catalyst to build the Global Compute Grid.
We’re turning fragmented GPU capacity into one unified platform where AI teams can access, manage, sell, and orchestrate compute.
Our mission: make the world’s compute unified, productive and liquid.
Flapping Airplanes raised $1B at a reported $6B for an AI lab with no product on sale.
Its pitch: demand for AI will outpace chip and data supply.
Tenstorrent took $1.5B. Modal passed $1B in run rate.

On 8 Oct, during @token2049 week, LongHash Ventures hosted allocators, founders and robotics researchers from NTU, NUS and A*STAR for a private dinner in Singapore, with the Jelawang Capital team among our guests.
Our view: capability is no longer the constraint in physical AI. Deployments are won on adaptation time and verified data, and that’s where the value sits.
Thank you to everyone who joined us.
