Vancouver, BC, May 31, 2023--(T-Net)--Vancouver-based VC firm Version One Ventures announced today that they have led a $2 million seed financing round in Antimatter.
Antimatter has a mission to build the world's most valuable peer-to-peer learning network, centered around memes.
Spacecadet and Ordinary Holdings joined Version One Ventures as new investors in this round, alongside existing investors Haystack and Compound.
Memes have been used as an educational tool for years and there are many online learning communities such as r/physicsmemes, @updatingonrome, and @historymemes_explained. But Antimatter is integrating everything from meme creation to sharing, to collaborating in one platform.
"The great thing about Antimatter is that teachers and students publish memes openly, so content isn't siloed to the classroom like it is with other EdTech solutions. In this way, Antimatter is creating a community that is rewriting the canon in memes and puzzles. You can imagine how this platform can grow to become the largest and most valuable peer-to-peer learning network with memes as a subset of puzzles" said Version One Ventures in its blog announcement.
Version One said that "early traction has been terrific", with classrooms growing 80% month-over-month. Antimatter is creating a conducive environment for students to express their ideas, thoughts and knowledge in a fun and collaborative way.
