By providing single purchases and frictionless consumption of digital content \u2013 and adding new ways to engage the creators \u2013 Sesamy aims to de-wall and re-democratise access to copyrighted digital content.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The investment capital will be used toward international expansion throughout 2021 and continuing to ensure the platform is at the cutting edge of usability, while providing a more viable digital model for the creation and consumption of content.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
M\u00e5ns Ulvestam, Founder and CEO of Sesamy, comments: \u201cWe are committed, at Sesamy, to creating a new digital model that opens up the internet: providing more for consumers and content-makers, alike. With this aim, we are delighted that such prestigious investment firms are placing their trust in this mission: to create a new, more sustainable platform for culture and information. At Sesamy, we envision a space that does justice to digital content, its diligent creators, and passionate consumers.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Per Roman, Co-Founder and Managing Partner of GP Bullhound, adds: “When M\u00e5ns and Karl told me about their new business, their vision immediately felt right. As lead investors we were able to put together a syndicate and invest in less than a week, to help the company accelerate with speed.”<\/p>\n\n\n\n
GP Bullhound invested through Fund V, following other recent investments including Glovo, Klarna, Wallapop, Discord, Vivino, Elias, DuckDuckGo and MariaDB.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
