Hey guys, quick thing about OpenGradient today 👇

It’s part of the a16z Crypto 2024 Fall CSX batch.
They’re basically working on core infrastructure networks.

In April 2026 they pulled in ~$9.5M funding.
a16z Crypto led the round which is a huge W tbh.
Coinbase Ventures, SV Angel, and Foresight Ventures also backed it.
Even some heavyweight angels came in — Balaji Srinivasan, Illia Polosukhin, Sandeep Nailwal, and Paul Taylor too.

Now about the founder, Matthew Wang.
He studied Electrical + Computer Engineering at Northwestern.
Interned at NASA, Meta, and Google. Pretty insane resume fr.
Then he was a Research Engineer at Two Sigma, that big hedge fund.

He launched OpenGradient in 2024 out of NYC. #OPG

With $9.5M and this team/backers, it looks really solid.
Could actually become one of those foundational networks people talk about.

I’m pretty bullish on OpenGradient ngl.
This is just my take, not financial advice ok.
