Hello #Cryptopreneurs community!

We’re very excited to officially share what has been in the works for the past few months — bitfwd formed a partnership with Collider Ventures — Israel’s leading Blockchain and Crypto Venture Capital!

The partnership of bitfwd and Collider Ventures will be centered around funding early stage ventures and unique approach to acceleration of ambitious entrepreneurs across all layers of the Blockchain stack.

Bitfwd’s goal has always been to bring the spirit of cryptoprenreurship from the grassroots community to real world products and support ventures growth. Together with Collider, bitfwd will support implementation and adoption of decentralized technologies. Bitfwd is currently heavily involved in the emerging DAO communities venture space, we foster lean digital native approach to disruptive innovation and embody the cypherpunk culture.

Key region of interest

Collider Ventures and bitfwd will be active in the APAC region with particular focus on China and South East Asia. We believe this region is most ripe for mass adoption and large scale implementation of Blockchain tech. Our unique thesis is that whilst a lot of R&D and experimentation is centered in Europe and North America, the fast moving emerging markets in APAC are tech savvy and communities over there acutely need develop. This will lead to a leapfrog into a thriving digital native economy. We believe the developments will be heavily powered by innovative Blockchain and crypto tech and that the associated venture activity will present great opportunities.

Collider Ventures is a boutique venture capital fund focused on the blockchain and crypto industries. Based out of Tel-Aviv Collider Ventures team has vast experience in open-source software commercialization.

Collider Ventures team include veterans from the Silicon Valley VC space and Israel’s crypto angel investors and Blockchain ecosystem builders. With a vision to partner with the most ambitious entrepreneurs and together lay the foundation for a next generation of global full stack digital financial services powered by blockchain and crypto tech.

With Daniel’s infectious energy the team demonstrated how thriving entrepreneurial ecosystems can be built anywhere, including Australia and New Zealand.

Bitfwd is an ideal partner that embodies and cultivates this spirit, together we look forward to a creative and unorthodox approach in the VC space.
