We are excited to officially unveil Toku and announce our $20m in funding from a consortium led by Blockchain Capital LLC, Protocol Labs, Orange DAO, gmjp, Orrick, Herrington & Sutcliffe LLP, Reverie, Quantstamp, Inc., and Next Web Capital. Our vision is to make it simple for organizations, from traditional companies to DAOs, to compensate their employees and contractors with tokens in 100% tax compliance, globally. 🌍 This investment will accelerate our global expansion and scale our platform to support the entire crypto ecosystem and get us closer to making token compensation mainstream! Learn more about the origin of Toku👇 https://lnkd.in/eKzdY9BJ Since the beginning, we have been building a world-class team and we brought on board stakeholders who share our vision of the future and understand the problem from different perspectives. 👇 We are proud to have Michael Maxwell Carter, Walter Kortschak, and Josh Buckley on our board. Our angel investors include Juan Benet, Nikil Viswanathan, Joseph Lau, Cameron Winklevoss, Tyler Winklevoss, Justin Waldron, Peter Bell, Matt Ocko, Harry Stebbings, Cameron Teitelman, Tashi Nakanishi, Batara Eto, Marshall Sandman, Paul Veradittakit, Griffin Johnson, Joi Ito, TJ Kawamura, Eiji Araki, Lee Wittlinger, Jesse C., Ryan Berkun. Companies all have different use cases for their tokens, but one thing they all have in common is that they are used to compensate people. We realized the hardest part isn’t the tokenomics or the software. It’s how to follow the law - especially around token compensation. There are clear laws and regulations around how people get employed and compensated that have been around for hundreds of years. These laws aren’t going away, and organizations need to follow them for the industry to grow. We are privileged to support leading organizations in the space Aragon, Astar Foundation, Filecoin Foundation, Gitcoin, Hedera, Protocol Labs, Teller Inc, Safe, Storyverse, and many more. We look forward to making our token compensation and tax compliance solutions mainstream. Explore our solutions and reach out to learn more! www.toku.com
