With crypto venture funding climbing for the first time in nearly two years, blockchain startups are looking to capitalize on venture capital activities in the industry. Richard Wang, partner at Draper Dragon Fund, said:“We are very bullish about the crypto market and like to see more innovation and interesting ideas in this area. We are especially interested in the BTC ecosystem, gaming, AI, DeFi 2.0 and the De-Sci sector.”


Some of the more prominent crypto startups receiving funding focus on infrastructure, decentralized finance (DeFi) and game finance (GameFi). Notable fundraises during the quarter included EigenLayer and Maplestory Universe, raising $100 million each.


“As we move away from the difficult funding market in the past two years, startups should leverage on this opportunity to ramp up their fundraising efforts and connect with the venture capital leaders in the space,” said Patrick Soh, CEO of Coinseeker.co.Workshops, speed dating and more


Participating startups will be incentivized for networking purposes and given the opportunity to win grants from crypto and Web3 infrastructure providers and ecosystems, which are set to develop the workshop content.


Each infrastructure company will conduct a workshop for builders or startup founders and offer grants to the most active companies. Onsite infrastructure will include class-like rooms for workshops tailored explicitly for productive collaboration.
