LucidBlue and AU21 take strategic investments in Clout.art

We are delighted to announce and welcome aboard two incredible tier-one investment groups that will serve as invaluable partners as we grow Clout.art.

LucidBlue VC, based in China, has been active in ecosystem and venture building in the crypto space since 2017. They were instrumental in developing the Polkadot ecosystem in China, investing in and incubating around 15 Polkadot projects. Since 2020, they have been actively researching and venture-building in DeFi and NFTs and have taken the lead in building the Polygon ecosystem in China. This interest in Polygon and NFTs made them a perfect fit for Clout.art.

“Clout.art is positioned where the worlds of social media and NFTs collide, and the result is a complete reinvention of the creator economy, where content creators can monetise their creativity through the generation and marketing of NFTs,”

says Charlie Hu, Managing Partner at LucidBlue and Head of China at Polygon.

AU21 Capital, founded by crypto veterans Chandler Guo and Kenzi Wang, strives to find the most promising blockchain projects, and their track record serves as a testament to their ability. They are tier one investors in Binance and Huobi, members of the Polkadot Venture Network and a founding member of the Polkadot Alliance. This history of picking winners means we are thrilled that they see the same potential in Clout.art.

“Clout.art is far more than a microservice that creates NFTs from social media posts,” says Kenzi Wang, General Partner at AU21 Capital.

“The SWAY token represents a monumental paradigm shift in how creators can monetise their talents and do so with their fans and collectors for mutual profit. This is the type of innovation that we look for.”

Jure Zih, Founder of Clout.art, says,

“LucidBlue and AU21 both bring battle-tested experience to the Clout.art team, and we are thrilled to be working with them. Their support extends critical acceptance for the creator economy and SWAY’s place at the centre of it.”
