"Trust and Safety is a critical function for any online platform. "
Union Square Ventures led the round, with participation from Ribbit Capital and Slow Ventures.
"We believe that money should work the same way everything else on the internet works – that it should be easy to use, it should be fast, and it should be global,"
Notion Capital led the seed investment, which will accelerate product development.
"We believe the Easol team has developed an incredible solution which has become the go-to platform for the world’s best experience creators who are passionate about the experience they deliver every day and not just selling things. Ben’s and Lisa’s deep domain expertise has already translated into rapid commercial growth with high demand that this round will support with more resources in product, marketing, sales and increasing the company’s global footprint. It’s rare for a company at their stage to have such strong signs of product-market fit. In fact, their SaaS metrics are some of the best we’ve ever seen."
