## About

Founded in 2020 and based in Cheshire, UK, KnownOrigin Labs Ltd operates as an art NFT (non-fungible token) company. Andy Gray, David Moore (CEO), and James Morgan are the co-founders of the company. In February 2022, KnownOrigin Labs Ltd raised GBP 3.5 million in series A financing co-led by new investors GBV Capital and Sanctor Capital, with participation from other new investors.

The company offers an NFT art platform that displays and sells digital artwork in the same way that traditional artwork is displayed and sold. Its platform allows artists to create one-of-a-kind, authentic digital treasures known as NFTs. This new approach to digital ownership is made feasible by blockchain technology.

KnownOrigin Labs Ltd plans to use the series A funding received in February 2022 to reinvest into the business to further support artists in the space.
