Pollen Mobile, a San Francisco, CA-based provider of an user owned and operated mobile network designed for privacy and anonymity, raised an undisclosed amount in Seed funding.
The round was led by Slow Ventures, with participation from DISH Wireless, Delphi Digital, OVN Capital, and Acorn Pacific Ventures, among others.
The company intends to use the funds to accelerate the deployment of its privacy-focused, user owned and operated mobile network.
Led by CEO Anthony Levandowski, Pollen Mobile is developing a decentralized, user owned and operated mobile network designed for privacy and anonymity. The company utilizes open source technologies and protocols, as well as a crypto economy built around the Solana blockchain-based PollenCoin token, to give its users the power to take back their mobile privacy with an affordable alternative to traditional mobile carriers.
Publicly launched in January, Pollen was conceived less than a year ago by Pronto – an autonomous driving technology company – as a flexible, lower-cost alternative to existing commercial connectivity solutions for their remote off-road operations. The project has already deployed infrastructure in San Francisco, New York City, and Los Angeles, and last week completed its first nationwide hardware drop.
