💸 Numerai raises $3 million in funding
Numerai has raised $3 million in a recent sale of NMR led by Union Square Ventures and Placeholder with CoinFund and Dragonfly Capital. Numerai’s Founder Richard Craib also participated.
“Richard and the Numerai team have built an exceptional platform over the past few years and the latest initiative, the Erasure protocol, is already generating valuable information and insights within its trustless marketplace”, says Alex Felix, Managing Partner at CoinFund.
“Enabling new markets and giving market access to more people are the killer apps of crypto, and we’re excited by the progress Numerai is making in both of these areas with the launch of Erasure Bay,” said Tom Schmidt of Dragonfly Capital Partners.
