Eric Parker is a tech junkie and crypto aficionado. And in 2021, he decided to combine his two passions with Giddy, an app that helps people tap into the rewards of decentralized finance and guide them through investing in this new financial frontier. Giddy was founded by a team of engineers with decades of experience in mobile app development, security, finance, and cryptography. And in January of this year, Giddy announced $8 million seed funding led by Pelion Venture Partners. The round includes local entrepreneurship all-stars the likes of Blake Murray of Divvy, Jeremy Andrus of Traeger, Davis Bell of Canopy, “Brand Whisperer” Shaun Neff, serial angel investor Scott Paul, real estate mogul Brandon Fugal, Scan founder Kirk Ouimet, Chamber Media founder Travis Chambers, and Jeff Burningham of Peak Capital.
