Our New Investment In Algo Capital

August 27, 2019 Michael Arrington

We are very pleased to join forces with Algo Capital, a new $200 million venture fund founded by David Garcia and Arul Murugan. We have invested in the fund, which will focus on the Algorand ecosystem.

We join our friends at the Algorand Foundation, Neo Global Capital, Eterna Capital, GSR, Cognitive Blockchain, Rokk3r, Wibson, 11-11 Ventures, DG Ventures, Winslow Strong, Invermaster and other investors in supporting this new fund.

Algo Capital only takes commitments in Algos, much like our own XRP-only policy. We are very excited to be investors in the new fund, and look forward to co-investing in new blockchain projects with them in the future.
