Sleek Raises $5 Million in Seed Round
Sleek, a Web3 social network, has announced it successfully raised US$5 million in a seed round. The funding enables the company to power the ownership economy and introduce blockchain-powered social media to a wider audience.
Officially launched in April 2023, the goal of Sleek is to revolutionize human connections by making networking simple, enjoyable, and productive. The platform allows users to easily exchange information, connect with new people, and incentivize community building through Web3 Social Finance (SocialFi) business models.

It leverages NFC technology and a proprietary messaging bot for efficient data capture and contact management, generating powerful on-chain social graphs and powering more than 300,000 connections.
Partnerships and Future Plans
The Sleek Card has partnered with Solana Hacker Houses, Coinfest, Digital Art Fair, and NFTNow to bring innovative event experiences to life. In the first half of 2024, Sleek will launch an open marketplace empowering domain experts to monetize their knowledge into liquid and accessible assets.
Sleek’s Vision and Investors
