Today we’re announcing that @a16zcrypto is leading an $80M Series B financing of PIP Labs, developer of @storyprotocol. Story is a blockchain protocol that allows creators to register their IP so they can track and monitor use, protecting their legal and economic rights. The goal is to create foundational infra that can underpin a new economic covenant between creators and platforms. The team behind Story has deep tech and creative expertise. CEO/cofounder @s-y-lee has impressed us with big-picture vision and world-class tactical execution. Cofounder @jasonzhao studied CS at Stanford, dove deeper into AI at DeepMind, and now leads technical development on Story. For AI systems and creative people to happily co-exist, creators need a modern way to ensure they get compensated for their work. Story takes a proven approach — IP law — and updates it for the age of AI. We are excited to support the Story team on this important mission. https://a16zcrypto.com/posts/article/investing-in-story

Excited to see you build it! Have really enjoyed your explanations and vision. I’m an ip lawyer and patent agent and am personally pumped to finally see composable IP built into the internet ✨
