Pulsr

Pulsr.ai operates as a developer of a non-fungible token (NFT) distributed discovery ecosystem, established to connect digital creators and collectors. Founded in 2021 by Maxine Ryan, who was previously known for founding Bitspark, the company is headquartered in New York, NY. Pulsr secured $2 million in a pre-seed funding round with participation from notable investors including Sequoia, Spartan Capital, Future Fund, and Digital (US).

The company's core business revolves around addressing the significant discoverability challenges within the fragmented Web3 market. Pulsr has developed an artificial intelligence-powered search engine that operates across multiple blockchains, including Ethereum, Polygon, and Tezos. This engine utilizes computer vision AI to analyze and automatically generate descriptive metadata for millions of NFTs. This process enriches the searchability of digital assets, allowing collectors to find art, music, and other creations based on specific traits, styles, or concepts, rather than relying on existing popularity metrics.

For creators, Pulsr offers a service called NFT Automated Metadata Enhancement (NAME), which allows them to have detailed, AI-generated labels applied to their collections before minting, thereby increasing their visibility across marketplaces. For collectors, the platform acts as a marketplace aggregator, providing a centralized point for discovering and purchasing NFTs. The business model also incorporates the $PULSR token, which is used to access premium discovery features, vote on platform proposals, and participate in exclusive events. However, reports from an investor, Jets Capital, in mid-2025 indicated that the project faced significant operational challenges following a token launch, with communications ceasing in early 2025.
