Tensor, a Solana-centric NFT trading platform, has raised $3 million in a seed round led by Placeholder, the team exclusively shared with TechCrunch.
The startup was co-founded by Ilja Moisejevs and Richard Wu, bringing a collective 10 years of experience in working on trading infrastructure and data-intensive systems. Until this point, Tensor was bootstrapped off about $60,000-$70,000 in prize money from winning two Solana hackathons in 2022, Moisejevs shared.

Investors in the seed round include Solana Ventures, Alliance DAO, Big Brain Holdings and Read Entire Article
