2. Investment Opportunities
We are so glad to have brought you Buildspace, OpenSea & Shima Capital last month, and expanded into NFT opportunities via our #investment-opps Discord channel with Probably Something and Honest NFT. 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).
We are back with another angel opportunity!! By now, you’ve probably heard of SyndicateDAO, a crypto investing protocol, social network, and service. They raised $20 million from a16z last year, and are looking to simplify the DAO creation process with the launch of their new product called “Web3 Investment Clubs.” The tooling allows users to spin up a group of up to 99 participants, pool their capital and vote as a group on where to invest those funds. Since they launched a little over a month ago, they’ve created 600+ DAOs. Check out this TechCrunch article for what they are up to!
Fundraise: We are lucky to have an allocation into a SAFE that converts at 20% discount to the next round’s valuation. We won this allocation as one of Syndicate’s strategic partners - our missions are incredibly aligned and we’re honored to be invited to join their shared journey as co-owners / operators of the platform Syndicate is building.
Next steps: Join us for a SyndicateDAO demo + Q&A with We3 member(💗!) & Syndicate strategy lead Sida Li on Tuesday, March 15 at 12pm PT (https://lu.ma/we3syndicatedao). If you'd like to learn more about investing in SyndicateDAO, fill out this interest form by Friday, March 18. You can revise your commitment later or decide not to invest, but we will send additional materials out based on who fills out the form. Thank you to our Investments lead Tina Dai, who continues to do an amazing job surfacing opportunities from our We3 networks.
