BUSINESS INSIDER - Seam Social, a social media platform founded by former Facebook engineer Nick Confrey, has raised $2.5M in a seed round led by Web3 and crypto investment firm 1kx. Launched in 2022, Seam aims to create a customizable and community-driven social platform, combining features reminiscent of MySpace and Facebook Groups. Users can code their mini-apps and digital experiences, and the platform emphasizes smaller, curated private spaces for interactions. The seed funding will be used to expand the team and further develop the platform, with a mobile app launch planned for 2024.
