Investor Spotlight Series — Folius Ventures
In our 3rd article of the investor spotlight series, we’re delighted to announce that Folius Ventures is joining the group of Sportium investors.
Sportium, the multi-sports NFT marketplace, announced today that it has successfully closed an investment from Folius Ventures. This marks Sportium’s 3rd closing of investment following Libertus Capital, and Animoca Brands.
Founded by Jason Kam (@mapleleafcap), Folius Ventures focuses on investing in, evangelizing, and helping build Web3 startups, especially in the APAC region. The venture capital is backed by investment firms ParaFi Capital and Dragonfly Capital, and angel investors such as Robert Leshner (founder of Compound), Vance Spencer, and Michael Anderson (founders of Framework Ventures).
Jason Kam, (@mapleleafcap) the founder of Folius Ventures commented:
“I think a lot of non-US IP owners, especially sports and entertainment franchises, are sitting on their goldmines looking at NBA Top Shot, CryptoPunks, and BAYC, and really pondering how they can intelligently explore this crazy new world of NFT + GameFi — without causing permanent damage to the brand,”
“The Alpha Works team brings a history of success with them. Now joined with Animoca Brands, I believe they can serve as a reputable, trusted advisor and a builder block that can really take these IPs to new heights. While they are starting with sports leagues in Korea given their roots, they obviously aren’t stopping there. We can’t wait to introduce them to all sports and entertainment IP brands we speak to in the future.”
