Birdai Labs builds neutral infrastructure that measures, verifies, and improves how trades execute on high-performance blockchains, aiming to return value lost between order and fill. The founders, Kevin Farrelly (ex-Random Forest Capital, acquired by Franklin Templeton) and Greg Scanlon (former Citadel quant), self-funded the company before raising. The round included Castle Island Ventures, Metalayer Ventures, and The Venture Dept, and will fund senior engineering hires and base-layer infrastructure expansion. James McClain joined as founding quantitative researcher. The company cites multi-proposer architectures fragmenting transaction ordering as making execution quality the next competitive frontier.
