The Managing Partner and Co-Founder of Sora Ventures, Jason Fang, spoke to CryptoSlate’s Akiba on the SlateCast to talk about the future of crypto, the differences between web2 and web3 investments, its recent investment into CryptoSlate, and how Sora Ventures looks to add value to each part of its portfolio.
Fang stated that web2 investments are equity-based and focus on where LPs can add value whereas in web 3 things are slightly different.
“The investment cycles are shorter… there are a lot fewer rounds when compared to the equity, … fewer rounds compared to the equity, and the lifespans in general terms of fundraising are also a lot shorter.”
Sora Venture’s approach is to focus on “community development and marketing” where “we’re adding immediate value that you can see within weeks, if not days.”
