Blockchain Company Mural, Founded by Palantir Alums, Raises $5.6M

Fung previously worked in product management at SoftBank-backed financial technology company Digits, but New York-based Mural has strong ties to Palantir, which was founded by billionaire Peter Thiel. Mural CEO Sinclair Toffa and co-founder and chief technology officer Arthur Kam both worked at Palantir as technical leads and engineers. Mural also named Dr. Robert Fink, former chief architect of Palantir’s flagship Foundry product, as one of the founding advisors.
