Focus topics

Financial Infrastructure

We look to support startups that enhance and modernize the financial infrastructure, focusing on projects that improve the efficiency, security, and interoperability of financial systems. This could include streamlining cross-border transactions, settlements, and payment processing, ultimately fostering seamless integration between traditional finance and emerging Web3 technologies.

Decentralized Finance

We look to promote startups that create accessible and inclusive financial services. By supporting projects that reimagine lending, borrowing, and asset management on decentralized platforms, we aim to bridge the gap between traditional finance and digital ecosystems, fostering financial empowerment for a global audience.

Asset Tokenization

We look to support startups that facilitate the tokenization of traditional securities and real-world assets, democratizing access to investment opportunities. By enabling seamless trading and management of tokenized assets on decentralized platforms, we strive to create new avenues for wealth generation and diversification in the digital age.

Data Tooling

Recognizing the vital role of data in the financial sector, we want to empower startups that develop innovative data tooling solutions. Our support extends to projects that enhance data analysis, storage, and security, as well as those that utilize advanced technologies like AI and machine learning to generate insights and drive decision-making in both traditional finance and Web3 domains.

Your startup does not fall strictly into any of the above topics, but you feel you'd be a great fit for the program? We are excited to see out-of-the box ideas, so we'd be happy to see your application!
