Slide, a NYC-based startup enabling decentralized applications to serve an easy experience for their users, raised $12.3M in seed funding.
The round was co-led by Polychain Capital and Framework Ventures, with participation from Coinbase Ventures, Outlander Ventures, and Circle Ventures, as well as individual investors Balaji Srinivasan, former Coinbase CTO; Ani Pai, Partner at Dragonfly Capital; Akash Garg, CTO of Moonpay; Raouf Ben Har, co-founder of Risk Harbor; Shayne Coplan, CEO of Polymarket; Justin Blau, CEO of Royal; and Qiao Wang and Imran Khan, co-founders of Alliance.
The company intends to use the funds to continue to invest in its team, proprietary infrastructure and distribution to dApps.
Co-founded in early 2022 by Teymour Farman-Farmaian and Sam Hatem, Slide makes dApps usable by anyone, with no crypto knowledge necessary. Users of Slide-enabled dApps can purchase crypto and NFTs with card, custody and manage assets without dealing with extensions or private keys, transact with any asset across any blockchain (with no blockchain-specific gas fees), and enjoy simple web3 experience.
