Berlin - Anytype, a local peer-to-peer and open source tool, has closed a successful $13.4 million funding round. The round was led by Balderton Capital and supported by Inflection and Square One. Well-known angel investors such as Trent McConnaghy (Ocean), Jutta Steiner (Polka Dot), Luis Cuendo (Aragon) and Adam Wiggins (Heroku) also participated. This investment follows the launch of the open beta version, for which over 75,000 registrations have already been recorded.

At a time when digital independence is being restricted around the world, Anytype enables people to use future-proof software while maintaining their data sovereignty. We are proud to support them in the latest chapter of their business story.

Anytype allows users to create their own online spaces where they can organize and link information in a diagram. The rooms are created locally and synchronized via a P2P network, which maintains control over the data.

The tool relies on peer-to-peer technology and offers a user-friendly interface based on no-code principles. Zhanna Sharipova, co-founder of Anytype, emphasized the company's vision of integrating fundamental digital freedoms such as privacy, freedom of expression and user independence into the software architecture.

In our opinion, software should support fundamental digital freedoms such as privacy, freedom of speech and thought, copyright and user independence from monopolistic software providers.

The alpha version of Anytype has already attracted interest from over 30,000 people from various professional fields. The platform is used by everyone from software developers to psychologists and doctors. The open beta version is available on various platforms and should appeal to even more users.

The funding will be invested in the further development of the Anytype platform in order to reach a broader user base. Colin Hanna from Balderton emphasized the importance of Anytype giving users back control of their information and promoting digital independence. The platform aims to play a supportive role for creators who want to shape the internet their way.
