$7.5 million in seed funding is raised by Expanso for its distributed computing platform.

General Catalyst and Hetz Ventures led a $7.5 million seed fundraising round for the distributed computing platform Expanso. The new funding will be used to promote the development of Expanso’s open-source data processing platform, “Bacalhau,” and deploy more nodes to boost capacity for handling more data jobs, according to the company’s CEO, David Aronchick, a former employee of Protocol Lab. These responsibilities include handling application logs and distributing machine learning training for AI.
