“# Async programmable art platform secures over $2M in seed funding <\/strong>”
\n<\/p>\n

Async Art, a Silicon Valley NFT platform, has secured over $2 million in seed funding from at least ten investors \u2014 highlighting the growing value proposition of programmable art.\u00a0<\/p>\n

The company announced<\/a> the new raise on Wednesday, highlighting Async\u2019s rapid growth since its Feb 2020 launch. In its first year of operations, Async generated over $1 million in art sales and launched a smart TV app<\/a> to display digital art. <\/p>\n

Although the company didn\u2019t specify how it would use the funds, they indicated that onboarding new users and creating new displays were the primary focus. Async is also looking to expand its job openings. Currently, its LinkedIn page has<\/a> openings for a community manager and application developer.<\/p>\n

At least ten investors participated in the seed round: Lemniscap, Galaxy Interactive, Signum Growth Capital, Semantic, Blue Wire Capital, Collab+Currency, Inflection, Divergence Ventures, the LAO and Placeholder. <\/p>\n

Async described programmable art as a \u201cnew movement\u201d that allows creators to \u201cdeconstruct their work into \u201cLayers\u201d and endow them with abilities.\u201d<\/p>\n

Lemniscap, one of Async Art\u2019s primary investors, described media<\/a> as the next frontier for disruption:<\/p>\n

\u201cBy enabling the shared ownership of art pieces and dynamic influence over their appearance, Async Art is turning the existing concept of art on its head and is paving the way for a whole new category of programmable media.”<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

Async was also featured in Christie’s, a major auction house that plans to offer standalone NFT works later this month. Noah Davis, a Christie\u2019s art specialist, recently said<\/a> NFTs have \u201cseen a rapid ascent over the last few years\u2014especially the last few months.”<\/p>\n

Async also revealed Matt Kane’s “Right Place & Right Time” <\/em>art in Mar 2020, which helped him earn a spot in the Cointelegraph Top 100. The artwork, which evolves dynamically in response to Bitcoin price volatility, is considered a masterpiece in the emerging NFT niche.\u00a0<\/p>\n
