Segment: DeFi / Business Model: B2C / Stage: Seed
Purpose: Web3 messaging technology to provide wallets a secure way to communicate on Solana
Problem: Not all users want to dox their emails or phone numbers to communicate or receive notification in the Web3 environment (sharing personal information isnโt ideal). This is particularly the case for DeFi users or on-chain gamers
Solution: Communicate directly from wallet to wallet and dapp notifcations, without the need for usernames. emails, passwords, etc. No need to share personal contact information.
Team:
Christopher Osborn - Co-founder & Co-CEO
Keri McKiernan - Co-founder & Co-CEO
Traction:
Funding: Raised $4.96M seed round in Apr 22 from Multicoin Capital, Jump Capital, Solana Ventures and Tiger Global
Growth: Partnering with Jet Protocol, Squads Protocol, Bridge Split, 01 Exchange and Exotic Markets to leverage tools in DeFi, NFT and DAOs
Positive Signals:
Development: Constantly launching new features (seems to be weekly), they post often on thier Twitter
Funding: Strong group of investors and mentors
Team: Chris has a Ph.D. in atomic physics and was the tech lead for a quantum computing company and founded a startup to create custom stock indices
Risks:
Team: From what we can see the founders are incredibly smart, but limited information about the broader team - just more to follow and assess
Market: Theres a handful of players in this space - might not be a one-player-wins-all but will be worth a follow
