DAOventures closes 20x oversubscribed private investment round
The $1.3 million raised ahead of our anticipated public sale came from several prolific investors within the blockchain space
We are pleased to announce that our private token sale was a success and we are thankful to have received investment from some of the sector’s most reputable investors. The DAOventures platform looks to make the power of DeFi instruments available to the mass market and, as the projects evolves and we partner with other high-profile projects in the blockchain space, we are proud to be surrounded by institutional partners and investors that have a long-term commitment and are aligned with our overall ethos.
With no seed round or pre-mine for team members or advisors, initial funding for the early development of the DAOventures platform came directly from the founders themselves. This fresh injection of capital will enable us to expand operations and add to the already diverse suite of DeFi tools available to users of the platform.
With interest in the DAOventures private sale extremely high we were very quickly 20x oversubscribed and had to close the round much earlier than planned. The levels of expertise and the quality of assistance brought to the table by our private sale investors reflects their belief in the DAOventures vision to deliver a world-class DeFi product that will accelerate the mass adoption of decentralized finance products.
