Mintable is a Singapore-based NFT marketplace and Web3 infrastructure company founded in 2018 by Zach Burks. Originally built as a user-friendly platform for minting and trading non-fungible tokens on Ethereum, Mintable expanded its scope to include gasless minting, store-front tools for creators, and enterprise NFT solutions. The company is incorporated as a for-profit corporation and has deployed capital into early-stage Web3 projects alongside running its own product operations.
Mintable gained significant public attention in 2021 when it closed a $13 million Series A round led by Ripple, with participation from entrepreneur Mark Cuban and several angel investors. The raise positioned Mintable as one of the better-funded independent NFT platforms outside of OpenSea. The company has stated a focus on making NFT creation accessible to non-technical users – a positioning that differentiated it from developer-first competitors during the 2021 NFT boom.
Beyond its own product, Mintable has made a small number of strategic investments in adjacent Web3 projects, with public records indicating roughly five portfolio companies. The specific names and deal terms of these investments have not been disclosed in detail through public filings or press releases. Public information about Mintable's investment thesis, fund size, and portfolio construction is limited.
Notable investments
Mintable's investment activity appears to be strategic rather than fund-driven – taking minority stakes in projects that complement its marketplace or NFT infrastructure business. The five portfolio companies on record are not individually named in available public sources. No AUM figure has been disclosed. This is consistent with corporate venture activity rather than a dedicated venture fund.
Team
Zach Burks serves as founder and CEO. He began building Mintable in 2018 after identifying friction in the early NFT minting process on Ethereum. Burks has been a vocal advocate for NFT adoption by mainstream creators and has spoken at events including Consensus and various blockchain-focused panels in Asia. Public information about other named executives or investment decision-makers beyond Burks is limited.
Recent activity
Following the broader NFT market contraction in 2022 and 2023, Mintable shifted emphasis toward enterprise and B2B use cases – licensing its minting infrastructure to brands and institutions rather than competing purely on retail trading volume. In 2024, the company announced partnerships with entities in the Gulf region, aligned with Singapore's position as a hub for Southeast Asian and Middle Eastern Web3 activity. Details on new investment rounds or portfolio additions since mid-2023 are not confirmed in available public sources.
Mintable occupies a mid-tier position in the NFT marketplace landscape. Its geographic base in Singapore gives it meaningful access to Asian markets and regulatory environments that are developing clearer digital asset frameworks. Whether the company's corporate venture activity scales into a more formal investment program depends heavily on the recovery trajectory of NFT trading volumes and the company's own financial position – neither of which has been disclosed publicly as of early 2026.
