• Web3Auth

  Participated · Series A · Jan 2022

  Web3Auth builds non-custodial key management and authentication infrastructure for web3 applications and wallets, enabling password-less auth and OAuth logins (Google, Twitter, Discord, Reddit) to simplify blockchain onboarding. It is powered by the open-source Torus Network and aims to eliminate seed phrases by leveraging social accounts and devices users already own. The company supports familiar login flows while still allowing advanced users to connect traditional wallets or key management systems. Web3Auth plans to use new funding to accelerate expansion into decentralized gaming, NFTs and social applications and to increase headcount. Financially, it closed a $13M Series A and has raised $15M total since its 2019 inception. Operatively, more than 300 apps and wallets had selected Web3Auth in 2021 to secure over four million users' private keys, and its user base grew 30x year-over-year.

  Participated · Equity · Jul 2021

  Synapse Network is developing a cross-chain investment ecosystem that will offer five cross-chain products, including a cross-chain DEX, a DeFi marketplace, a chain-agnostic launchpad, an accelerator/incubator, and an investment syndicate. It already has a live, working cross-chain launchpad that enables investors to allocate funds into projects across Ethereum, Binance Smart Chain, Solana, Polygon and other blockchains. The platform aims to be a one-stop-shop to consolidate transactions and investments, contrasting with multichain solutions that require investing into separate ecosystems. Synapse has raised nearly $2,000,000 from venture capital and community funding rounds and lists partners including Black Dragon, Dutch Crypto Investors, Moonwhale, Chainlink, OIG, ICO HUB, Crypto Weekly, Minted Lab and CSP DAO. All projects launched from the Synapse accelerator and launchpad will be backed with Synapse technology to fast-track integration, enable seamless smart contract integration, and provide fast data gathering and security guarantees. Co-founders Paweł Łaskarzewski and Michał Domarecki bring enterprise technology and serial-entrepreneur experience to the team; the announcement lists London as the company location.
