    Unblocked, led by co-founder and CEO Harrison Wang, leverages non-fungible tokens (NFTs) to connect fan communities with major music and entertainment brands. The company focuses on launches and partnerships that bridge digital NFT experiences with in-person fan engagement. In late December it debuted its first launch in partnership with Primary Wave Music and multi-platinum hip-hop group Cypress Hill. Upcoming partnerships named in the article include brands under the Penske Media Corp. family, Evite, and other artists and musicians. The company is expanding its internal team, recently adding former Linkin Park DJ Joe Hahn in a creative lead role. Financially, Unblocked completed a $10M seed financing at a $90M+ post-money valuation.
