About Highlight
Highlight was founded in 2021 by former Square executives Nathaniel Emodi and Kevin Matthews to provide creators with no-code Web3 infrastructure.
In 2022, the company completed an $11 million seed round led by Haun Ventures, with participation from Polygon Studios and Coinbase Ventures. The platform initially focused on music, described as 'the future music fan club.'
In 2023, the platform expanded into generative art, launching a platform allowing artists to create and mint computer-generated NFTs. Built on the Polygon network to reduce transaction costs, its protocol architecture includes modules such as Community and TokenManagers.
