💭Thoughts from We3 Founder, Laura Du…
Yesterday, We3 Founder/CEO, Laura Du shared her thoughts on current events in the U.S. and the importance of We3’s mission - now more than ever. Join the conversation on LinkedIn, like, share and reflect.
“…Our mantra has always been to build the world we want to see — to create a voice, and to create power, for those who have been underrepresented in influence, capital, wealth, and now, lawmaking…At We3✨ we’re starting with #web3 as one of the cutting edges of technology and innovation of the decades ahead and we won’t stop there.”
Welcome to We3’s weekly newsletter: We3 in 3
We3 was founded upon the mission to create the web3 world WE want to see. A world where women & non-binary individuals are building, investing and manifesting the future.
We3’s Goals:
To enable 50% of web3 leadership roles to be held by women and non-binary individuals
50% of crypto-asset ownership

0. 💸 We3 is back at it with an INCREDIBLE investment opportunity: Alchemy!
✨We3 is so honored to kick off Season 2 investments with an exclusive opportunity to participate in 🦄 Alchemy’s 🦄 last round. We expect to fill this allocation very quickly since Alchemy is the backbone of every major blockchain application including OpenSea, Dapper Labs, Axie Infinity, SuperRare, Aave, among others. Alchemy allows users, including non-coders, to read and write information onto blockchains like Ethereum or Solana. As Techcrunch puts it, “Alchemy wants to do for blockchain and Web3 what AWS (Amazon Web Services) did for the internet.”
Fundraise:
Lightspeed Venture Partners and Silver Lake co-led Alchemy’s latest $200 million Series C round, valuing the company at $10.2 billion. All of the company’s previous investors, including the likes of a16z, Coatue Management, DFJ, Pantera, and Addition, also put money in the latest financing.
Next steps:
💡Read the memo and invest in Alchemy here by July 14.** Our allocation will be first come, first serve.
Note: you will need to join our AngelList to see the full details of this deal and to invest. We are accepting minimum checks of $1.5K. ****
📝 Sign up to join us for an Alchemy demo + Q&A with We3 member(💖!) & one of Alchemy's earliest hires Elan Halpern on July 7 at 12pm PT.
❓Questions? Reach out to our Investments lead Tina Dai, who continues to do an amazing job surfacing opportunities from our We3 networks.
A note on timing: We wanted to launch this investment opportunity earlier, but due to some logistical challenges, we had to push back the timing of our syndicate to now. The CEO is super supportive of our We3 mission and graciously honored our original agreement to partake in the last round at the same terms, even though Alchemy has grown tremendously since then.
🚀 More deals to launch later this month via our investing syndicate on AngelList. Sign up here! Remember, DYOR (Do Your Own Research) - angel investments are risky, valuations are sky high these days, and feel free to ask questions, learn and invest together via our Discord channel #investment-opps. (Invite: bit.ly/we3discord).
