Speaker and entrepreneur Gary Vaynerchuk and Mavericks basketball team owner Mark Cuban invested $5 million funding to a newly Thirdweb, a new software web3 projects startup.
According to news reports, the company launched its free tools three months ago for developers to build, launch and manage their web3 projects without writing any lines of code.
The company (Thirdweb) was co-founded by Social Chain founder Steven Bartlett and Furquan Rydhan, who was founding CTO of Bebo and AppLovin respectively.
Speaking to TechCrunch about the startup and the web3, Bartlett said, “we knew that builders would want to build in this space and that they would need a tool,” Rydhan said. “We started with a base set of ideas, and over the course of a year, built out Thirdweb and now have hundreds of customers integrating SDKs. Like the way Stripe made it easy to plug in, our code is similar, but we wrote it to give to everyone.”
Thirdweb has physical presence and offices in London and San Francisco. The newly startup. It enables the addition of features, including NFTs, social tokens and currencies, marketplaces for buying and selling tokens and NFT loot boxes and drops, in a few clicks.
Vaynerchuk as quoted by TechCrunch said via email. “Look at what happened from 1995 to 2000 on the ‘internet’ and use that history lesson to deploy how much will be ‘fixed’ in web3 over the next half decade. I’m excited to see Thirdweb accelerate this shift. Fifteen years ago, no one believed that the world would be full of social media creators and artists. Web3 is now giving them the opportunity to own their creations and get a fair share of the profits, and I think that’s something you don’t want to miss. I believe in this space, I believe in this team, I believe in their vision, I believe in the opportunity and I believe in their execution.”
