AlphaGen Secures $2.5M to Fuel Generative AI and Metaverse Ambitions

VANCOUVER, British Columbia – January 16, 2026 – AlphaGen Intelligence Corp. (CSE: AIC | FSE: G4G), a technology firm specializing in generative artificial intelligence and 3D content, announced today the successful closing of a $2.5 million non-brokered private placement. The financing provides a significant capital injection as the company navigates a challenging financial period and seeks to accelerate growth within the burgeoning metaverse, eCommerce, and entertainment sectors.

The company issued 10,000,000 units at a price of $0.25 per unit. Each unit consists of one common share and one-half of a share purchase warrant, with each whole warrant allowing the holder to acquire an additional share at $0.40 for a two-year period. This move signals a strategic push to secure the resources necessary to advance its technology and expand its market footprint.

A Critical Capital Injection for Strategic Growth

The infusion of $2.5 million arrives at a pivotal moment for AlphaGen. Recent financial filings paint a picture of a company facing significant headwinds. The company reported a substantial decrease in annual revenue, which fell to approximately $794,800 in 2024 from $1.9 million the previous year. Concurrently, its total assets saw a dramatic decline. With consistently negative cash flow from operating activities, the new funding is not just opportunistic but essential for sustaining operations and pursuing its long-term vision.

According to the company's press release, the net proceeds are earmarked for "general working capital purposes." For a technology company like AlphaGen, this typically translates into direct investment in its core value drivers. The capital is expected to be funneled into several key areas, including research and development for its proprietary generative AI models, which are crucial for automating and enhancing 3D content creation. Further investment is also anticipated for the development of its primary operational units, Shape Immersive and MANA.

Beyond product development, the funds will likely be used to bolster sales and marketing efforts to attract new enterprise clients and to recruit and retain the highly specialized talent required to compete in the AI and spatial computing fields. Covering day-to-day operational overhead and the costs associated with being a publicly traded entity are also fundamental uses of such capital.

Navigating a Competitive AI and 3D Landscape

AlphaGen operates at the intersection of several of today's most dynamic and competitive technology markets. The generative AI sector is experiencing explosive growth, with venture capital pouring into companies developing everything from foundational models to niche application-specific tools. Likewise, the market for 3D content, fueled by the promise of the metaverse and the practical needs of AR/VR applications, is intensely crowded.

In this environment, AlphaGen faces a diverse array of competitors. These range from venture-backed startups creating AI tools that generate 3D models from simple text or image prompts, to established platforms like Obsess and ByondXR that specialize in creating virtual retail showrooms. In the gaming sector, its MANA platform competes in a mature ecosystem dominated by major game engines like Unity and Unreal Engine, alongside a host of middleware and tool providers.

AlphaGen's strategy appears focused on carving out a defensible niche by integrating its generative AI capabilities directly into its service offerings for specific industries. Rather than competing solely on foundational AI models, it leverages its technology to power tangible solutions for retail, entertainment, and gaming, a strategy designed to differentiate it from pure-play AI or 3D modeling firms.

Powering the Future of Digital Experiences with Shape and MANA

The company's strategic vision is executed through its two main subsidiaries, Shape Immersive and MANA, each targeting a distinct, high-growth market. The new funding is expected to directly fuel the advancement of these units.

Shape Immersive is AlphaGen's full-service development arm focused on creating metaverse and spatial computing experiences. It has built a notable reputation by delivering projects for an impressive roster of high-profile clients, including RTFKT (a Nike subsidiary), the Olympics, Red Bull, and Intel. This track record with Fortune 500 companies and major global brands provides AlphaGen with significant credibility and a powerful portfolio, demonstrating its ability to execute complex, cutting-edge digital projects. Shape Immersive positions the company to capitalize on the increasing demand from brands seeking to build immersive virtual stores and engaging customer experiences in the next iteration of the internet.

Meanwhile, MANA operates as a Software-as-a-Service (SaaS) solution and innovation lab aimed at the massive global gaming industry. By offering a platform that empowers companies to launch their own gaming initiatives, MANA targets a scalable, recurring revenue model. This diversifies AlphaGen's business beyond project-based work and taps into the continuous need for advanced tools and platforms within game development and community engagement. The combination of Shape's bespoke services and MANA's scalable SaaS product creates a balanced portfolio aimed at different segments of the digital content market.

Market Reaction and Investor Outlook

The private placement, while providing crucial runway, also has direct implications for investors. The offering price of $0.25 per unit represented a discount to the stock's trading price of $0.345 on the Canadian Securities Exchange (CSE: AIC) on the day of the announcement. While such discounts are common in private placements to attract capital, the issuance of 10 million new shares will result in significant dilution for existing shareholders, nearly doubling the approximately 11.79 million shares that were previously outstanding.

The inclusion of warrants exercisable at $0.40 introduces the potential for further dilution down the line, but it also provides a mechanism for additional funding if the company's stock performs well. The transaction can be viewed as a vote of confidence from the incoming investors, who are betting on AlphaGen's ability to leverage the new capital to achieve key growth milestones. All securities issued in the offering are subject to a statutory four-month hold period, expiring May 17, 2026, temporarily restricting their tradeability.

With this new financing, AlphaGen Intelligence Corp. is now better equipped to pursue its ambitious goals. The challenge ahead lies in executing its strategy effectively—enhancing its technology, expanding its client base, and proving it can generate sustainable growth and a clear return on this new investment in a fiercely competitive market.
