Co-founded by Peter Jonas (CEO) and Matt Lorenzen (COO), Thirdwave raised $7 million in funding for its first seed round, led by Framework Ventures and Animoca Brands. Participating investors include Play Ventures, Shima Capital, Hustle Fund, and Oceans Ventures. Framework Ventures is a VC firm known for its early entry into blockchain gaming (GameFi) and decentralized finance (DeFi).
Thirdwave is a blockchain discovery engine that aims to provide business data and other insights to web3 gaming teams that can help them find, understand and retain customers.
The new capital is said to be going right into the engine. The developers are aiming to improve on scaling and data features to better deliver insights to customers. Thirdwave is also planning to give access to more sophisticated on-chain analytics, deep community and data web integrations, benchmarking tools, and project specific dashboards.
