Co-founder Yogev Shelly claimed the firm was supposed to secure the fundraiser last year, but the uncertainty in the cryptocurrency market halted the effort:<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<blockquote>\n<p>\u201cWe started in October and within a month reached 80% of what we aimed for in the round. By November, some big investors who had soft committed for a large part of the funding had to fold due to certain fallout and rising uncertainty. As a result, the round took a bit longer to close, and we had more to prove.\u201d<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<ul>\n<li>TinyTap jumped on the crypto bandwagon last year by introducing Publisher non-fungible tokens (NFTs).<\/li>\n<li>Animoca Brands\u2019 co-founder Yat Siu believes the move was beneficial to teachers and educators who are the main customers of the application:<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<blockquote>\n<p>\u201cTeachers and educators are among the most important content creators and contributors in society, and yet their wages typically do not reflect their critical importance.
