Can Web3 save humanity from AI doom? At Zero Gravity Labs, they think it can.
We sat down with Michael, co-founder & CEO of Zero Gravity Labs, who’s on a mission to create the world’s first decentralized AI operating system — powered by a modular Layer 1 blockchain that’s insanely fast (50GB/s fast 👀).
In this episode, we dive into how Michael went from a teenage SAP intern to scaling a wellness startup to over $100M in revenue, why he believes centralized AI (👀 OpenAI) is a threat, and how Zero Gravity Labs is fighting to make intelligence a public good.
We also explore how he raised $350M (after originally aiming for just $5M), flipped traditional VC dynamics, why crypto desperately needs more builders—not just airdrops—and the breakthrough tech behind scaling AI onchain, plus what’s coming next.
From live meditation to live-streamed model training, this is one of the most ambitious efforts in Web3.
