The funding of early ideas and founders is still dominated by a VC process which is over 30 years old. Crypto is in desperate need of modernized (and compliant) funding infrastructure.
Venture Club is a protocol for the syndication of investment opportunities, from property to IP and early venture (aka, the web3 Angel List).
As part of each investment, DeFi compatible NFTs are minted on Base. NFTs represent a tokenized version of the underlying asset and correspond to membership interest in a legal wrapper created by Venture Club. This process is extremely flexible, compliant, and can be applied to a wide variety of assets easily at scale. NFTs are DeFi compatible, with existing integrations with Arcade.xyz, as well as Rarible.com, and assets can be issued from different UIs, with our first integrations already complete.
You can see some of the assets we've issued on Opensea below: https://opensea.io/collection/venture-club https://opensea.io/collection/venture-club-2
We believe in a future with an (extremely) long tail of RWAs issues across chains. Our infrastructure is built specifically for these one-off random assets. Our next focus is on building a reputation layer for investors and deal publishers, allowing those with interesting opportunities and knowledge to monetize their skills.
