Cognit, Cofounded by Preetham Vishwanatha, is our second formal investment as a non official fund. The first one is too mired in controversy and intrigue to write about now, but someday we will write a book about it.

We are pretty excited about Cognit, and the implications for decentralized computing and more privacy focused AI. Decentralized AI is an incredibly difficult problem, and fit perfectly into our investment thesis of Maximizing Risk.

1. One liner on what you do: Cognit enables Artificial Intelligence for Web3 (DAOs, dApps).
2. Why and how you are maximizing risk: Interoperability across consensus protocols is a maximum risk. Enabling true swarm intelligence is another.
3. How you are going to change the world: Imagine a world where there is no central control and autonomous-intelligent-agents are empowered to maximize efficiencies in a decentralized economy, and doing so in a democratic way.

Sounds pretty exciting to us! Let’s see what the future holds.
