The foundation will support all projects with a clear mission and vision with no regard to the type of blockchain they are building on. This protocol-agnostic approach is set to nurture the most promising products of the Web3 segment.

Besides supporting selected projects with money and liquidity, Venom Ventures Fund will be backing them with consulting, support and marketing strategies.

Venom Ventures Fund is aimed at making Abu Dhabi a dominant fintech hub globally and a hotbed for cutting-edge innovations in the turbulent segments of Web3, blockchain and cryptocurrencies.

I am delighted to be a part of the launch of our new Venture Capital fund here in Abu Dhabi. I am excited to work with a team of experienced investment professionals and talented people from the crypto industry, and we are ready to allocate strategic investments in the most innovative web3 start-ups that are poised for mass adoption. Our mission is to transform digital asset management and make a lasting impact on the industry. Venom is the ideal platform for us to achieve this goal.

Also, the new fund is among the first venture campaigns to be launched by fully regulated Abu Dhabi-based firms.
