$SOL FUND 001 is a $25M Web 3-focused venture fund raising, holding, and investing using $SOL—the cryptocurrency native to the Solana blockchain. OBJECTIVE: The goal of this fund is to maximize returns to investors (>100x), onboard more investors into cryptocurrency, and offer investors access to Web 3 startups, all without sacrificing upside as $SOL appreciates over time. The investments will be made/received in $SOL, so when $SOL increases in value, so does the value of the fund. We will also allocate funds using $SOL, sending them directly to the company’s founders' wallets. This will result in faster transfers, fewer fees, and less wasted time/energy than traditional wire-payment investments. STRATEGY: Leveraging existing connections and deep relationships within the Solana ecosystem, we will source and perform due diligence on over 1,000 companies in the first 12 months. We’ll invest in 100 of them with at least a 5% stake. The companies must have a Web 3 product built on Solana, such as a marketplace, exchange, DeFi protocol, or wallet. We believe our involvement and support will be crucial to a project or startup's success. When needed, we can help teams with operations, technical expertise, fundraising, recruiting/hiring, and more.
