Kigo is a newly formed digital asset company created by combining Heaps, Augeo’s crypto loyalty subsidiary, and NFT engagement platform Thred. The company aims to empower organizations to engage customers, employees and members through blockchain-enabled rewards, memberships and recognition. Its platform enables creation, distribution and management of dynamic digital badges, shareable rewards, personalized digital memberships and cross-brand collaborations at scale. Kigo also offers an expansive digital rewards marketplace where people can redeem loyalty rewards for digital collectibles, commemoratives, access passes and leading cryptocurrencies such as Bitcoin and Ethereum. Leadership includes CEO Peter Schultze (former Heaps Executive Chair), President Ben Straley (former Thred CEO) and David Kristal (Founder and CEO of Augeo). Financially, Kigo raised $6.5M to accelerate its launch; the two combined ventures have collectively raised $16M including new commitments.
