Zash Provides Comprehensive NFT Data

In three years, Zash has developed a product that boasts the most extensive coverage of NFT data in the market, successfully commercializing it with top-tier clients despite having a streamlined team.

Established in 2021 through Entrepreneur First, a European accelerator supported by industry veterans like Reid Hoffman, co-founder of LinkedIn, and John Collison, co-founder of Stripe, Zash initially ventured into creating a social investing app “verified by real on-chain and broker data.”

However, the startup later shifted its focus to NFT data.

As of February 2023, during a pre-seed funding round, Zash secured an undisclosed amount from investors, including Cogitent Ventures and WWVentures, according to data from Crunchbase.
