Blockchain-attached Storage platform, Functionland secured $1.1 Millon in Seed funding

Functionland, an Ontario-based builder of blockchain attached storage and Borg Protocol, has now secured an additional $1.1 million in a seed funding round.

Functionland was founded by Keyvan Sadeghi. It is the builder of blockchain attached storage and Borg Protocol. The company already has a working relationship with  Protocol Labs that benefits its Borg Protocol, which uses Libp2p and IPFS technologies to facilitate P2P network transactions.

Keyvan Sadeghi (CEO, Functionland) said, "We're excited about the milestones this funding will help us accomplish. It is another step forward in Functionland's mission to put a piece of blockchain on everyone's desk. Our proof-of-concept photo storage app, Photos, is already recognized by developers as in the top three percent of open-source projects around the world. This funding will help us move successfully into the next phases of Borg Network development and our crowdfunding campaign for Box Hardware."

Brad Holden (investments lead, Protocol Labs) said, "Protocol Labs is committed to supporting projects with decentralization as a core principle of their vision. Functionland's development of blockchain-attached storage strives to decentralize cloud services and democratize the internet through the creation of a freer, more innovative Web3-based experience."
