This month, we are talking about WEB3 FUNDING

Venture capital plays a crucial role in shaping the blockchain and cryptocurrency world, yet its inner workings often remain a mystery.

We'll clarify the distinctions between seed rounds and Series A funding, and delve into the criteria VCs use to decide which crypto projects to back. Additionally, we'll explore how investors sift through the noise to identify the next big innovation.
