Upstream provides a no-code, all-in-one platform that enables users to launch and operate decentralized autonomous organizations (DAOs) without technical expertise. Its flagship product, Upstream Collectives, bundles key DAO functions—treasury management, voting, governance, token-gating, group chat, vote delegation, and an integrated wallet—into a single user experience. Since the product’s closed beta launch in November 2021, Collectives have amassed more than $2 million in on-platform assets. Co-founded by Alex Taub and Michael Schonfeld, the company positions itself as an easy entry point for communities and groups seeking DAO infrastructure. The fresh capital will be used to scale the platform and support its public launch. To date, Upstream has raised $15.75 million in venture funding, underlining strong investor confidence in its approach to simplifying DAO creation and management.
