PoobahAI raises $2M to mainstream AI-built blockchains

AI and Web3 startup PoobahAI has raised $2 million in seed funding from FourTwoAlpha Ltd, an early investor in Ethereum and Cosmos, in a move designed to make building an AI-powered blockchain accessible to anyone, regardless of technical expertise.

PoobahAI, based in Fort Worth, has built a no-code, AI-driven platform that allows creators, entrepreneurs, and companies to launch Web3 decentralized applications, token ecosystems, and autonomous AI agents without writing a single line of code. The fresh capital will be used to accelerate the rollout of its flagship product, MCP Server, and to support market expansion as the company operates through a 4,000-strong global waiting list spanning North America, Europe and Asia.

MCP Server, revealed ahead of the funding announcement, is the first infrastructure layer designed to connect AI agents directly to blockchains. This technology allows for seamless multi-chain operations, transforming traditional static networks into dynamic, self-sustaining ecosystems capable of adapting and evolving in real time. By pairing this with PoobahAI’s intuitive platform, the company says builders can develop decentralized systems up to 60 percent faster and at 90 percent lower cost than traditional methods.

“Web3 holds the keys to a truly open Internet, yet it is trapped in a cage of code and complexity,” said Dr. Dana Love, President and CEO of PoobahAI. “We’re opening these doors wide, arming construction companies with AI that doesn’t just automate, it innovates. With the support of FourTwoAlpha, we’re supercharging this revolution and proving that the future of decentralized infrastructure can be as intuitive as drag-and-drop and as powerful as blockchain itself.”

Founded by a team of AI and Web3 experts, PoobahAI is part of a new generation of companies working to democratize the intersection between AI and decentralized technology. The startup’s mission is to remove the complexity that has long stifled adoption, and create what it calls the “Web3 Creator Economy” — a space where individuals and organizations can build symbolic, autonomous systems with the same ease as they might design a website.

Investment firm FourTwoAlpha Ltd, based in the British Virgin Islands, said it sees PoobahAI’s technology as the next logical step in the evolution of decentralized systems. The company’s portfolio includes early investments in some of the world’s most transformative blockchain networks, and believes PoobahAI’s native AI approach can help unleash mainstream adoption of decentralized infrastructure.

The funding will also strengthen PoobahAI’s efforts to expand the builder community through university partnerships and global developer initiatives, as well as deepen its collaboration with major blockchain technology ecosystems. The company is already piloting its “chain licensing” model with several leading layer-one networks, with the aim of integrating AI infrastructure into the heart of the decentralized internet.

With additional AI tools entering public beta later this year, PoobahAI positions itself as a bridge between the world of AI and the world of blockchain — a convergence that many industry observers see as the next major frontier in technological innovation. “The next wave of progress will come from those who not only use AI or blockchain, but combine them,” Dr. Love said. “PoobahAI is here to make this integration simple, scalable and unstoppable.”
