About Agora

Agora is an end-to-end governance platform for the largest onchain protocols in crypto. Secure, scalable, smart contracts with customizable modules that powers the decisions from critical protocol upgrades to capital allocation decisions in the millions.

Agora is a working towards a new paradigm for group collaboration by creating the tools for communities work together onchain. This is not yet-another-productivity-saas. We believe that to enable the next era of collaboration, we need software that can bend current and create new incentives. No amount of removing friction will change how we work together if our reward functions are misaligned. Our goal is to build deep collaboration tools for people who couldn’t care less about crypto so that one day (soon), your friends back home are using Agora without ever knowing we’re on Ethereum.

We’ve raised from the top investors such as Haun Ventures, Coinbase Ventures, SCV, Credibly Neutral, Sina Habibian, prominent players in the industry such as Fireeyes, Ken of Uniswap, Tim Beiko of Ethereum Foundation, and angel investors including Dan Romero, Balaji Srinivasan, Will Price, Packy McCormick of Not Boring.
