This week we meet Anshum Bhambri, CEO of Faze Technologies, who has announced one of the biggest seed funding rounds of 2021, picking up just over $17m. Anshum is a Stanford University graduate who went on to work on Wall Street before getting interested in bitcoin and the blockchain. Faze is rolling out a new cricket-based collectibles and gaming platform, built on blockchain and featuring the NFTs that are increasingly popular in art, music and elsewhere in sport. The company has already agreed a three-year deal with the International Cricket Council (ICC) for the rights to its back catalogue of video and audio clips, which goes back to 1975. It is creating thousands of NFTs linked to specific clips, which cricket fans will be able to buy in packs and trade on a secondary market.
