Problem
When we were developing Palatine Analytics (a startup selling AI-powered employee performance monitoring systems), we learned that AI development is hindered by two fundamental problems:
- AI development is expensive
- Independent AI developers can neither monetize nor share their code.
Today, there are only around 10,000 AI developers in the world. 99% of companies cannot afford to hire their own team of AI engineers to create in-house AIs, nor do they have enough technical capabilities to correctly determine from which open-source APIs to grab existing AI code.
Astoundingly, there is no way for AIs to exchange data, learn from each other, leverage their capabilities, and trade services— let alone judge the quality of AIs (there is no reputation system). AIs are operating in a closed environment.
Solution
So we built GenesisAI.
GenesisAI is a Machine Learning protocol. On top of this protocol, we are building a marketplace for AI products and services - an Amazon for AI services. The marketplace, which includes a built-in reputation system, connects companies in need of AI services, data, and models with companies interested in monetizing their AI tech. Initially, GenesisAI is focused on asset management space and recently entered the healthcare sector.
Amidst the global pandemic, all of us need to do our part to combat COVID. We need a global coordinated effort.
After getting overwhelming demand, GenesisAI decided to enter the healthcare sector. We are bringing AIs from all around the world to help battle COVID and aid humanity.
GenesisAI team is gathering AIs to develop detection, testing, diagnostic and treatment.
The initial focus will be on:
- AI that identifies people who are at high risk of getting really sick if they were to become infected
- AI that predicts future outbreaks
- AI that simulates the impact of different government policies
Market
We have a beta product and have agreements with over 20 AI supply-side firms who wish to place their product on our marketplace and 25 demand-side firms who wish to purchase products on our marketplace.
Why Invest?
All in all, if you believe in supporting our mission, join us and help us enable anyone in the world to access AI.
- Large corporations will no longer be the only entities able to develop and utilize AI. We believe in making AI accessible: “for the people, by the people.”
- By linking AI services with each other and increasing the supply of AI services, GenesisAI provides a web platform that offers low-cost AI services. This makes AI technology more efficient and affordable for businesses.
- Our technology enables different AIs to communicate with each other, exchange data and trade services. Anyone can develop and purchase AI services.
Invest as little as $100 to help us further develop our promising technology. The time is now.
FAQs
What does your company do?
We allow you to buy that top-of-the-line natural language processing technology that your company always wanted rather than building it yourself. You don't need a team of AI experts to use AI to your advantage -- just buy the software on our marketplace. We provide an efficiency boost to the market as a whole by making AI accessible and usable for numerous various-sized businesses.
Where will your company be in 5 years?
We hope to abstract beyond the technical expertise needed to implement AI and allow companies with no technical knowledge to tap into the benefits of this wonderful technology. Our goal is to get rid of an oligopolistic system where a few large tech companies hold a strong majority of the AI industry, and we hope to be significantly closer to this vision in five years.
Why did you choose this idea?
We would like to lay a foundation for the creation of Artificial General Intelligence and smash the current oligopolistic system of a few large companies basically owning all the AI.
How do you make money?
We will provide the protocol that allows people to make transactions on the platform, and we plan to take a small percentage of the transaction value. Our revenue forecasts are based on a transaction fee of 30%, which is likely to be the final value we will charge. This charge is very low if we compare it with how much money you would spend in marketing to get the same transaction volume you are getting on GenesisAI.
Can you make an example of AI interoperability (when you say that simple AI services can be combined to perform more complex services?
Say Node A (a hotel) pays Node B to get a summary of customer behavior depending on different variables and recommendations to increase the customer base. Node B can pay Node C for a service that uses pattern recognition to recognize the hotel's customer behavior and customer pain points. After receiving the output from Node C, Node B can use the input from Node C to come up with promotions that address the main pain points.
How do you solve privacy issue (companies not wanting to send sensitive data)?
Data will be encrypted in a way that machine learning code developers can still use it to train their codes without accessing sensitive information. No sensitive information will be shared with developers.
How will you use the capital you raise?
Our top priority is to build a robust technology. The team plans to scale the platform as we expect the number of customers to quickly rise, requiring us to invest in scalable IT infrastructure. Our second priority is dealing with sales & marketing and spending all the resources that are necessary to find the best AI services, data providers, and clients.
When do you expect to generate revenues?
Right now, we are not trying to generate revenue, but we are quickly reaching our monthly product development goals to build something that works and gets people to believe in the platform. We are doing a great job in generating pre-registrations for companies that believe in our platform and will join at the time of the launch. Our detailed revenue forecast until 2025 can be found in our slide deck (attached), though projections are not guaranteed.
What is Artificial Intelligence?
In simple words, Artificial Intelligence is an area of computer science that tries to simulate human behavior in a machine. This concept is revolutionary because it starts from the assumption that a well-functioning AI code won’t need any human direction. For example, if we run a big amount of online data to generate a market research on a particular industry, we won’t have to tell the code which trends to analyze, but the code will recognize the trends for us.
What problem does GenesisAI solve?
There is no communication between AIs; there is no way for AIs to exchange data, trade services, learn from each other, or expand their own capabilities. We match unused resources (in-house developed AIs and open-source Github AI code) with companies in need of these resources. The connector of these two parties will unlock trillions of dollars in market value.
Why your team is uniquely qualified to solve this problem?
Our team has the right mix of what it takes to solve this problem:
Founders – studied computer science and economics at Harvard, and long work experience in the AI industry and in companies like Google and Bridgewater.
Advisors – 2 multi-billion-dollar exits, former Dean of MIT Engineering, $310M exit, MIT AI/ML professor, 2 Harvard computer science professors, 2 Harvard Business School professors

What is the difference between AI and beneficial Artificial General Intelligence (AGI)?
Artificial General Intelligence is the final goal of everyone that works in the AI space. Narrow Artificial Intelligence is a code that performs a certain task, like image or speech recognition, which are two tasks typical of the human brain. AGI would come from the combination of all these narrow tasks, with the ultimate goal of creating a mastermind (the AGI) that is able to perform any task that our brain is able to perform (and more).
Why would companies not buy services directly from sellers’ website? Why do they need us?
By using our services, we expect companies will have access to a number of services that are currently out of their reach for network reasons, geographic reasons, or other reasons. When they access the marketplace, they can search for the service they want, and our system is designed to couple them with some existing provider, similar to how Uber matches drivers and riders. This system prevents companies from skipping us, because we plan to couple them with the service provider, and we anticipate they will rely on our platform to evaluate service quality and choose the most appropriate service from a numerous set of services.
How do you guarantee liquidity to equity investors?
We anticipate our first years of operations will focus on organic growth, revenue stabilization, and achieving breakeven. When these goals are achieved, we hope to start thinking about liquidity events that may be able to give investors the opportunity, if they want, to generate sizable returns (but cannot guarantee that).
