Salsa, a San Francisco-based web3 messaging startup, has raised a $2M pre-seed round.
The startup's go-to-market strategy involves convincing NFT brands to communicate with their audience through a crypto-native platform.
The app would use social proof to form connections based on POAPs (proof of attendance protocol) and wallet verification.
- The round was led by IDEO CoLab VC and Inflection.xyz, with participation from angel investor and former CTO of Coinbase Balaji Srinivasan, and founder of DeSo Nader Al-Naji, among others.
- The startup was founded in June 2022 by former Palantir developer infrastructure lead Grace Wang and former product manager at Anaplan Helena Gagern.
