Vangrid raised $9 million in seed funding, aiming to create a decentralized spatial intelligence network that uses smartphones for data collection. The investment round included participation from HashKey, Borderless, Crypto.com Capital, Animoca Brands, Gate Labs, and Mapleblock.
The funding will enhance Vangrid's edge-computation pipeline and support partnerships with companies in defense and robotics. The platform converts smartphones into distributed data capture nodes, processing and verifying spatial data on-device before it is uploaded.
Vangrid plans to offer its services to sectors requiring continuous ground-level spatial data, positioning itself between traditional mapping services and crowdsourcing models. The company is developing a token economy and has established memorandums of understanding with various strategic partners. Vangrid's network is live, with 100,000 verified captures and ongoing transactions validating its operational model.
