Mumbai, April
19, 2022: flippy, a new age social crypto discovery platform dedicated to discovery, investment, entertainment, and diversification in digital assets, today announced the launch of its mobile
app in India. The company has raised US $1.15 million
in its seed round led by Redstart Labs, a wholly owned subsidiary of
InfoEdge, and other key investors including Entrepreneur First, Justin Caldbeck,
Alex Lin, and Anirudh Rastogi.
The company has also been backed by a marquee investor- 7 Percent Ventures, an international fund that has invested in
unicorns like Oculus VR (later sold
to Facebook), SourceDNA (later
bought by Apple) and Magic Pony
technologies (subsequently sold to Twitter).
flippy’s app is being used by the users on their
waitlist, and will be available on the App Store and Google Play
Store soon. The app helps you discover the
world of crypto, follow trusted connections, learn from pros and make
responsible investments. flippy allows users
to invest through relatable thematic baskets, making diversification possible
with a single click. Users can access a range of informative content through this
platform and view investment portfolios of successful crypto-space influencers.
flippy has partnered with leading crypto
exchanges such as Bitbns, Krypto and Unocoin, and is in talks with CoinDCX,
Zebpay and WazirX to allow users to link their trading accounts and
complete their investments from the flippy
platform itself.
The funds will be used to focus on building a team of
junior and senior-level engineering talent to scale flippy’s operations. The second objective is to form a user
acquisition strategy and create content that will impart knowledge and make
crypto accessible to all investors.
Speaking on the launch, Srinidhi Moodalagiri, Co-founder of flippy, says “The crypto space is a relatively new area with new technicalities and volatility leading to investor apprehension to enter the space. With flippy, we provide access to relatable thematic baskets, such as Metaverse, NFTs, Gaming allowing new and existing investors to discover, discuss, and diversify investments across themes without having to research each token individually. flippy is the only platform enabling Peer to Peer knowledge sharing through interesting, interactive and engaging content formats, making the investor journey hassle-free, efficient and straightforward.”
Srivar Harlaka, Co-founder, flippy, adds, "The recent trend in India depicts
that more than 60% of states in India[1]
are Cryptotech adopters, especially Gen Z and millennials with 66% of crypto investors below 35 years[2]
of age. Although men have ruled the space,
women's participation in crypto trading has increased by 1000% in the last few
years. Seeing this massive demand in the
crypto space, the company aims at reaching 1M users in the next 18
months. The funding and backing by credible investors
will enable flippy to be the pioneer in the
social crypto space to make crypto understandable and accessible to new
investors and equip them with a fun and simplified platform to invest in this
space."
“flippy’s platform captures signals
around adoption of web3, crypto and decentralized assets making it easy for
GenZ users to discover and understand upcoming web3 assets from across the
world. We believe flippy’s actionable information led platform aligns well with
the social trading behavior of its target audience of global GenZ users”, said Amit Behl from Redstart Labs.
Crypto as an asset class is known by many but very few take the step to understand the intricacies of the crypto industry and make their first investments. Millions today remain confused, perplexed, and unsure about crypto trading. The founders of flippy resonated with this pain point of millions of users and that is when they decided to join hands to innovate flippy for simplifying crypto trading for today’s younger generation. flippy also publishes its daily newsletter, ‘The flipstory’, bringing the top 3 news from the crypto world to its 3000+ subscribers and takes users through an exciting journey of discovery through the maze of crypto with the customised news feed, content, memes, engaging videos to make the investment journey fun filled.
