## About

Based in Washington, US, and founded in 2022, GitPOAP operates as an open-source development platform that offers digital badges. The company was founded by its CEO Colfax Selby, and CTO Jay Puntham-Baker. In August 2022, GitPOAP raised USD 4.28 million in seed funding co-led by Inflection and Libertus Capital, Avalanche VC, POAP, Inc., and Protocol Labs, Inc.

GitPOAP provides a contributor recognition platform that connects on-chain DAOs (decentralized autonomous organizations) and decentralized identity to off-chain contribution platforms like GitHub through POAP (proof of attendance protocol) issuance. The company’s platform is accessible to two sets of users: contributors and repo owners. Contributors can create records of their work that are visible and unchangeable, and repo owners can find new ways to foster and grow their contributor networks.

The company plans to use the funds raised in August 2022 to further grow its team, onboard more projects, and build deeper integrations.
