Cambrian, an AI infrastructure platform for financial data and predictive market forecasting to inform and train AI agents, announced today the conclusion of its funding round. The platform yielded a total of $5.9 million in seed funding led by a16z's Crypto Startup Accelerator (CSX).
Cambrian completes $5.9 million seed round, a16z CSX led funding
According to the official statement by its team, Cambrian, an AI infrastructure provider training AI agents in the sphere of financial data and predictive markets, has completed its fundraising campaign. Cambrian secured a total of $5.9 million from a group of VCs with a16z's Crypto Startup Accelerator (CSX) at the helm.
The round also saw participation from Blockchain Builders and prominent angels within The Graph ecosystem, underscoring the industry's confidence in Cambrian's innovative approach at the crossroads of AI, blockchain and data.
Cambrian is a participant in the CSX 04 accelerator cohort that is happening in San Francisco over the next two months.
Fresh funding is set to fuel Cambrian's mission to provide financial agents with hyperaware intelligence for radically smarter decision-making. Participation in the accelerator program comes ahead of Cambrian’s testnet and mainnet launch.
AI and cryptography veteran Sam Green, CEO and founder of Cambrian, is excited about the potential new funding this unlocks for his team:
We’re thrilled to join the CSX accelerator. I’ve followed the work of a16z’s Chris Dixon, Tim Roughgarden, and Justin Thaler for years. Working with them and the rest of a16z’s world-class staff will be valuable as we finish the design of Cambrian’s decentralized network. We will use our seed funding to accelerate development and increase our data coverage and performance. Crypto is quickly moving into the future with autonomous financial agents, and we intend to be the best source of financial intelligence for their high-consequence tasks.
Prior to founding Cambrian, Sam Green cofounded and served as CTO of Semiotic Labs, a core developer team of The Graph.
Strengthening AI agents and on-chain data synergy
The Cambrian team is growing a network of partners required for the next phases of disruption in AI agent development, training and usage.
Nader Dabit, Eigen Labs's Director of DevRel, welcomes the contribution of Cambrian to the global AI agent ecosystem:
We’re seeing growing interest in verifiable financial agents. EigenLayer provides the best verifiable runtime for these agents, but they also need data with strong performance and security guarantees. So I’m excited that Cambrian will be launched on EigenLayer. I expect Cambrian to serve a key role as a verifiable sensory layer for the coming wave of agentic finance.
Cambrian has already launched its first use case: an AI agent, Deep42, which leverages a unique blend of data to deliver high-signal decentralized finance (DeFi) analyses.
Currently, Deep42 disseminates daily insights via its X account — an example of what can be built with Cambrian's data solutions. This initiative showcases the practical applications agent developers achieve using Cambrian's data infrastructure.
Cambrian envisions a future where humans, AI and nature all thrive in harmony. By transforming raw data into actionable intelligence, Cambrian strives to build a solarpunk world where technology and nature thrive together. Cambrian’s first foray into that future begins with advancements in agentic finance.
