Editor’s note: This article was amended on 29 July, 2022. A previous version of this article stated Galaxy had raised $7 million in new funding, including Snap Inc.’s participation in this round. This is incorrect. Snapchat invested in the start-up three years ago but was not involved in the most recent round of $4.5 million.
