Bitrue Ventures will be present at booth #918 at the upcoming Consensus 2024 conference in Austin, Texas from May 29-31.
Bitrue has announced the launch of a brand new investment arm to leverage its six years of operating as a cryptocurrency exchange to help startups reach product maturation, including capital investment, incubation advice, product development expertise, marketing support, industry connections, and more.
Going by the name of Bitrue Ventures, the new investment fund has been established in response to an elevated influx of capital into the industry from institutional investors and high-net-worth individuals.
“It can be difficult for investors to identify valuable projects”
Bitrue Ventures is ready to invest capital starting from $50,000 – $200,000 per project, depending on their needs, with no limits to the number of projects that may be invested in. Projects that successfully launch a product will also be able to list their tokens on the Bitrue exchange, with 10 million users, and utilize their integrated marketing services.
The venture fund plans to scout projects across all web3 sub-industries for investment potential, with an initial focus on AI and RWA projects. A pilot investment round has already been completed with funding allocated to the Cardano-based projects WingRiders and Liqwid Finance.
Iris Chu, Director of Ventures and Partnerships, said: “The smart money is moving into web3, but with high technical barriers to understanding and with market attention moving between trends at a rapid pace, it can be difficult for investors to identify the projects that have the potential to deliver real value. Bitrue Ventures will leverage the extensive technical and market expertise of the exchange to not only spot high-potential projects at an early stage but also provide them with all the resources they need to ensure they reach the product launch phase and become successful companies.”
Bitrue Ventures welcomes interest parties to contact [email protected] to discuss partnerships. The venture capital arm will also be present at booth #918 at the upcoming Consensus 2024 conference in Austin, Texas from May 29-31.
