Cayman Islands-based predictive behavioral AI company THEA said on Thursday that it raised $8 million in financing led by Maven11 Capital, Spartan Group, ManifoldTrading, HackVC and Fisher8 Capital.
The company said the capital will expand its AI infrastructure for risk markets and help launch THEA Network on Solana, a tokenized coordination and settlement layer. The network is meant to route inference requests and accounting through on-chain settlement while keeping compute off-chain.
THEA said its ecosystem handles more than 400 million inference queries each month across 30-plus jurisdictions and serves more than 3,000 enterprise customers. The company said its models are trained using more than 35 billion human decisions recorded under economic pressure.
“Up until now, we’ve been building AI systems trained on real economic behavior rather than synthetic simulations,” said Valentin Batura, CEO of THEA.
The company has separately stated on LinkedIn that it currently has no token and no announced ICO or public sale.
THEA said it was founded in 2024, though its underlying behavioral AI infrastructure has been under development for the past decade.
