Four Pillars secures $0.5M from Kakao Ventures, Hashed, and Bass Investment
Four Pillars is pleased to announce the successful completion of its funding round, raising $0.5M from Kakao Ventures, Hashed, and Bass Investment.
Four Pillars, a research-based blockchain startup, announced on January 16th that it has secured an investment of $0.5M (700 million won) from Kakao Ventures, Hashed, and Bass Investment. Four Pillars assists businesses in effectively implementing blockchain technology, offering customized solutions based on their collaboration experience and technical understanding of blockchain projects. We provide timely insights into blockchain technology, fundamentals, legal aspects, and market analysis, saving time and costs for companies considering entering the blockchain market.
The global blockchain market trends are rapidly evolving, and the importance of research is much greater than in Web2 businesses. Companies face practical difficulties in finding and applying the vast amount of information scattered worldwide. This is also the reason why global protocols struggle to enter the Korean market and Korean companies face challenges in expanding to the global market. Four Pillars aims to grow as a global research-based blockchain company by connecting Korean and global companies and projects, thereby resolving information asymmetry.
Four Pillars is led by protocol experts from Penn State, KAIST, and Seoul National University. The three co-founders established the company in 2023 after accumulating research experience in blockchain companies and conglomerates. The team, known for its outstanding blockchain industry understanding, has been recognized for its capabilities through collaborations with various global blockchain projects.
With the new investment, Four Pillars plans to acquire talent and accelerate product development. It will continue to publish research content and aims to contribute to the blockchain ecosystem by facilitating the participation of various stakeholders in the blockchain scene.
Brian Jang, Director of Kakao Ventures, acknowledges the key team members of Four Pillars for their unique insights in the blockchain industry. He expects the company to grow rapidly by converting the demands of protocols and companies into business outcomes based on its unique research capabilities.
CEO Steve Kim of Four Pillars stated, “Our priority and company goal is to create a developer-friendly environment with high-quality research and products based on it. We aim to lower the entry barriers to blockchain and expand the overall market for Web3 by addressing unfriendly situations for users and developers.”
