Curio, the premier NFT platform for the entertainment industry, has raised $7M in an oversubscribed seed round, with participation from Fenbushi Capital, Kenetic Capital, Protocol Labs, LongHash Ventures, Picus Capital, and several others including entertainment industry veterans, Marc Geiger, CEO of SaveLive and former head of global music at WME and Rich Battista, former CEO of Time Inc. and former Fox Entertainment executive.
“Curio’s innovative approach to bring fans and the brands they love closer together is bound to change the way entertainment is consumed and collected,” said Emma Cui, CEO of LongHash Ventures. “Their rapid development of new partnerships in the film, television, music, and graphic novel space, and commitment to easing the barrier-to-entry sets them apart from others in the rapidly evolving NFT market.”
“Curio’s continued success is built on our ability to push technological boundaries, our expanding partnerships with iconic brands, and reaching broader audiences,” said Curio CEO, Juan M. Hernandez. “We didn’t launch Curio to be another small fish in the NFT pond, we started this company to revolutionize how fans interact with and experience their favorite shows, characters, and stories.”
