According to the company\u2019s website, Sleek currently sells two variants of its card \u2014 prism and premium \u2014 priced at about $30 and $35, respectively.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWe built a Sleek card and Telegram bot to solve a very simple problem \u2014 you don\u2019t remember most people you meet in person, so our card and Telegram bot automatically capture data for you and remind you later on,\u201d Tse told The Block.<\/p>\n<p>The company also revealed in its announcement that it plans to launch an open marketplace that will enable domain or subject matter experts to tokenize their knowledge, providing them with the opportunity to earn income from their expertise. The marketplace is set to launch in the first half of 2024.<\/p>\n<p>Sleek, initially established as a no-code metaverse platform under Binance Labs\u2019 incubation program, pivoted to focus on Web3 because \u201cthe metaverse was still too early for mass adoption,\u201d co-founder Tania Tse told The Block.<\/p>\n<p>Tse noted that the platform\u2019s community has organically grown through word of mouth, gathering 20,000 verified users primarily from events and conferences. The establishment of this community without relying on monetary incentives has afforded Sleek a robust user base and valuable insights into user needs, she added.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>\u00a0<\/p>\n<div class=\"newsletter home-newsletter single\">\n<div class=\"left-side\">\n<p>\n        <em><br \/>\n            Enter your email for our Free Daily Newsletter        <\/em>\n    <\/p>\n<p> A quick 3min read about today&#8217;s crypto news!<\/p>\n<p>    <span class=\"response-msg\" id=\"newsletter-response\"><\/span>\n<\/div>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<p>Read the full article <a href=\"https:\/\/cryptonews.com\/news\/web3-social-company-sleek-announces-5-million-seed-round.htm\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">here<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Source: Pixabay Hong Kong-based Web3 social company Sleek has revealed a $5 million seed round, with the fundraising valuing the company at $50 million.
