Today, Vancouver-based Dapper Labs announced $11 million in funding from Andreessen Horowitz and Warner Music Group, among others. The firm also revealed its latest blockchain platform, named Flow, aimed at the entertainment industry. Leading video game developer Ubisoft is one of the new partners working on Flow. Dapper Labs created the popular CryptoKitties app and has since built an engagement-focused collectables game with the NBA.
