MakersPlace raises $30m in Series A funding
MakersPlace captured the world’s attention this spring when it sourced, minted, and brought to market digital artist Beeple’s Everydays: The First 5000 Days. It sold for $69.3 million at Christie’s auction house, ranking as one of the highest prices ever for a paid work (in any medium) by a living artist. This marked a seismic shift in the appreciation and market for rare digital art.
