The Non-Fungible Token (NFT) marketplace OpenSea’s co-founder Devin Finzer announces that a16z’s Chris Dixon joins their Board of Directors. Chris Dixon replaces Katie Haun, who left a16z to launch Haun Ventures.
“I’m excited to formally welcome Chris Dixon to the OpenSea Board of Directors. Chris has been extremely influential in shaping my views on web3,” says co-founder Devin Finzer.
Leaving a16z’s cryptocurrency investment practice, Katie Haun joined the OpenSea board in July 2021, after the firm led a $100 million series B round.
“Katie has been another invaluable source of wisdom for OpenSea over the years. And thanks to her long standing relationship with Chris, she was able to execute a smooth handoff and remains close to us in her capacity as an investor through Haun Ventures,” writes Devin Finzer.
OpenSea’s $13.3 billion valuation after a $300 million Series C funding round in January was earlier reported by The Crypto Times.
