Cheeze, a photography-focused NFT media and entertainment company operated by world-class entrepreneurs and entertainment veterans, has closed its previously announced seed round of funding; the company made the announcement in advance of an upcoming Series A raise, slated for first quarter 2022. The company noted that the round was led by Olive Tree Capital along with an impressive list of high-profile backers: Netflix founder and first CEO Marc Randolph, marketing guru and FNDR CEO James Vincent, chairman of Dubai-based SRG Holding Mohamed Al Rafi, RAA Capital and Block 3 Ventures fund founded by Exto Partners and OG NFT investor Matty Soudagar, Apple fellow Guy Kawasaki, Bevy cofounder and CEO Derek Andersen and Flow blockchain creators Dapper Labs. “The past 12 months have been so exciting for Cheeze and the NFT space as a whole,” said Cheeze founder and CEO Simon Hudson in the press release. “Just as Web 2.0 and technologies like .jpg, .mp3, .mp4, along with smartphones and digital wallets have been game-changing, now Cheeze is participating in this exciting time of Web3, decentralization, blockchain and NFT technology. We are proudly bringing photography to the blockchain by telling the stories behind the lens. Attending the NFT.NYC conference last week showed that this space is booming with interest. The energy and enthusiasm from everyone who attended was really awesome to see. With the team we are building and partners we have secured, I am very confident that Cheeze will become the go-to marketplace for Photo NFTs. With this new funding from world-class backers, we have everything we need to own this space.”
