Gaia was co-founded by Sydney Lai, Matt Wright, and Shashank Sripada under Seandshoots Inc.
Today’s AI runs on massive datasets and compute power, but the researchers, hospitals, startups, and individuals providing those resources often get little recognition or reward. Instead, the benefits are concentrated in the hands of a few big corporations.
Gaia Labs, led by CEO Matt Wright alongside co-founders Shashank Sripada and Sydney Lai, wants to flip that model. Their vision: anyone contributing value to an AI system—whether through data, compute, or expertise—should retain ownership and earn a fair share of the rewards when the system is used.
