"LinkedIn" Icebreaker completes $5 million seed round financing

Icebreaker, a "LinkedIn" company on the chain, announced the completion of a $5 million seed round of financing, led by CoinFund, with participation from Accomplice, Anagram and Legion Capital, and a post-money valuation of $21 million. The company's co-founders, Dan Stone and Jack Dillé, are from Coinbase and Google, respectively. They founded Icebreaker on the belief that a person's digital identity and reputation should not be owned by one entity, but should be public and accessible to all. Using blockchain technology, Icebreaker allows users to move all of their existing professional profiles and networks into one verified channel.
