Bondex Secures Strategic Investment from Animoca Brands to Expand Web3 Recruitment Platform
Yat Siu, co-founder and executive chairman of Animoca Brands, commented, Bondex is changing the game for future recruitment through Web3, enabling blockchain technology and the power of referrals to innovate against legacy platforms
Bondex, an independent crowdsourcing recruitment app based in the United Kingdom, has successfully secured a strategic investment from Animoca Brands, according to Bondex. This investment aims to further develop Bondex's platform, which currently hosts over 1.5 million monthly active users.
Enhancing the Platform
Launched in August 2021, Bondex focuses on recruitment referrals through a gamified app that incentivizes users to refer suitable candidates for recruiters. The company has raised over $3 million in funding, led by Chainlink and C2 Ventures. With the new capital from Animoca Brands, Bondex plans to enhance its platform and integrate it within Animoca Brands' ecosystem, gearing up for a token launch and further app expansion throughout the year.
Strategic Investment and Future Goals
The strategic investment from Animoca Brands will enable Bondex to solidify its presence in the Web3 ecosystem and extend its reach to retail audiences. This partnership accompanies Bondex's successful public sale on CoinList, which raised $6.5 million through the 'CoinList Rewards Campaign,' attracting 20,000 participants.
Yat Siu, co-founder and executive chairman of Animoca Brands, commented, "Bondex is changing the game for future recruitment through Web3, enabling blockchain technology and the power of referrals to innovate against legacy platforms. We’re excited to be a part of that journey, and look forward to introducing the Web3 professional network across the Animoca Brands ecosystem."
Bondex's Competitive Edge
Bondex has onboarded multiple recruiting partners, including Binance, Blockchain.com, Chainlink, and Ankr. The platform applies Web3 principles such as reward mechanisms to its business model, making talent acquisition and hiring easier for all parties involved. With over 5 million app downloads and more than 1 million monthly active users, Bondex aims to launch its native utility token later this year. CEO Ignacio Palomera stated, "We’re thrilled to be able to reach broader horizons within the world of Web3 and beyond, with the help of Animoca Brands. This is a significant milestone for Bondex and the Web3 recruitment landscape overall."
