Investee Company Update: Factom Inc. Completes Series A Round Financing

FastForward announces that its investee company, Factom Inc. ("Factom"), has raised $4.2m in new funding in its Series A financing round, led by venture capitalist Tim Draper of Draper Associates.

Having recently won a $200,000 grant from the US Department of Homeland Security, the Austin, Texas-based company plans to use the new funds to more aggressively grow the company, including building a series of unnamed new products for its blockchain data network.

FastForward's original investment in Factom was made less than a year ago on 16 October 2015, with a reported value of £279,000 at the time of FastForward's annual report and accounts to 31 March 2016. Today's Series A financing values FastForward's investment at approximately £560,000, an increase of approximately 100%.

Lorne Abony, CEO of FastForward Innovations commented:

"We are ecstatic with this increase in valuation for our investment in Factom, which exemplifies what we believe to be true of much of our portfolio: that value continues to be created in our businesses, and that many of our investee companies are worth significantly more today than the amount we invested.
