The Block
General Tensor, a Bittensor infrastructure startup, raised $5 million in oversubscribed seed and pre-seed funding rounds.

Summary

Bittensor infrastructure startup General Tensor announced it has successfully raised $5 million across oversubscribed seed and pre-seed funding rounds. The seed round was anchored by Good Morning Holdings, a venture firm backed by Goldman Sachs. This funding follows a pre-seed round from December 2024, led by Lvna Capital, which included participation from DCG, X Ventures, Proof of Talk, and Outliers Fund. General Tensor, founded as General TAO Ventures in early 2024, focuses on building and operating mining, validation, and subnet infrastructure for the decentralized AI network Bittensor. The company claims to generate TAO, Bittensor's native token, with significantly higher cost efficiency than simply purchasing it. Lvna Capital CEO Allan Cassis noted General Tensor's focus on building the necessary infrastructure for decentralized AI. Bittensor itself is a decentralized network incentivizing collaborative machine learning across over 120 specialized subnets.
