Icebreaker—think LinkedIn but on a blockchain—announced on Wednesday it has secured $5 million in seed funding. CoinFund led the raise, with participation from Accomplice, Anagram, and Legion Capital, among others.
The company, which is valued at $21 million, wants to become the world’s first open-source network to make professional connections. Its co-founders, Dan Stone and Jack Dillé, hail from Google and Coinbase; Stone was a product manager at the crypto giant and also the co-creator of Google’s largest cross-identity measurement and marketing platform, and Dillé was a design lead for Google Workspace.
