On today’s episode of Seed Stories, I had a chance to sit down with Nicolas le Jeune, Co-Founder and CEO of Courtyard https://courtyard.io

Courtyard stores physical collectibles (trading cards, sneakers, watches, etc.) in secured vaults, creates a 3D representation of the asset and mints it as an NFT on the blockchain. They've partnered with one of the largest security companies in the world to store collectibles.

Courtyard recently raised $7 million in seed funding by global venture capital firm New Enterprise Associates (NEA) with participation from Y Combinator, OpenSea Ventures, VaynerFund, Brink's, Cherry Ventures, and a select group of angel investors.

Seed Stories are short conversations with founders on the heels of a raising a recent Seed round. We'll learn about their company, their fundraising process, what worked, what didn't and what their plan is going forward.
