Yogev Shelly (CEO) of TinyTap reveals $8.5m raise from Polygon Labs to build more web3 games:
TinyTap is a subsidiary of Animoca Brands building a leading edtech platform for user-generated educational games. The company has raised US$8.5 million from investors including Sequoia China, Liberty City Ventures, Kingsway Capital, Shima Capital, Polygon, GameFi Ventures, and others. The funding will be used to support TinyTap’s business expansion and accelerate development in the edtech space.
Team members include Uri Lazar (CTO), Yogev Shelly (CEO), and Nissim Pinto (COO).
Yat Siu, co-founder and executive chairman of Animoca Brands, commented:
“Teachers and educators are among the most important content creators and contributors in society, and yet their wages typically do not reflect their critical importance. This is why we’re incredibly excited at the Web3 opportunities that TinyTap is exploring in the field of education. Having already succeeded in building a Web2 education platform, TinyTap is now supercharging its efforts using NFTs, making it possible for educators to better generate equity from their work and link up with co-publishers who can handle the promotion of their courses, all while offering students enhanced learning materials.”
