Photo platform Unsplash raises C$7.25 mln in OST-led Series A
Unsplash, a free, curated photo platform based in Montréal, has raised C$7.25 million in a Series A financing. The round was led by OST, a blockchain technology company that sponsors Simple Token, a digital currency enabler. In a blog post, OST said its investment was a combination of 80 percent cash and 20 percent tokens. OST CEO Jason Goldberg will join the board as a result. The financing’s other new and returning investors included Accomplice, Betaworks and Real Ventures. Unsplash CEO Mikael Cho, who co-founded the company in 2013, said the funds raised will help create a “new economic model around photography” using cryptocurrency.
