Po.et aims to put publishing permissions on the blockchain and build an electronic marketplace for publications, authors and creatives. The platform is intended to let creators set permissions, monetize content, and enable companies to obtain legal licenses with a click. The company plans to leverage immutable ledger technology to track content provenance and value. Po.et has been hiring senior executives to scale product and engineering, including CEO Jarrod Dicker (hired in February) and new VP of engineering Eric Elliott. The startup has raised a mix of traditional venture capital and token sales, citing a $1M seed and a $10M ICO on its roadmap. Recent hires and fundraising activity signal a push from vision toward shipping products and building the marketplace.
