LightningWorks, a San Jose, Costa Rica-based company delivering comic books in the digital by combining them with interactive games and NFTs, raised $2.5M in Seed funding.
The funding was provided by its founder, Geoff McCabe.
The company intends to use the funds to to move ahead with go to market initiatives for NFT comics.
Developed by McCabe, Co-Founder of top-65 cryptocurrency $DIVI, Games Interactive and Founder of VirtualRealityTimes.com, along with Jordan Fiksenbaum, the former head of marketing for Cirque du Soleil, LightningWorks brings comic books to the world of Web3, empowering its fans to create, play, earn and own through NFTs and blockchain. With their deflationary NFT tokenomics, called Forging, users can combine two or three comics (common, uncommon, rare, epic, legendary) to create a new one with a rarer tier, including the possibility to get one of four secret tiers. This system mimics paper comics, which have a constantly-reducing supply too, and makes their digital counterparts more inherently collectible. Its epic tale Siege Worlds Zero merges the classic comic genre with gameplay. Readers can ally with other fans to solve puzzles, engage in battles and share adventures from the comic stories in a heroic digital world.
The platform also enables artists, writers, and creators. Using A.I. technology, individuals can bring their visions to life, monetize their creations, and connect directly with their audience.
After bootstrapping the company since 2020, the company is now ready to move ahead with go to market initiatives for its NFT comic book.
