Investment Thesis
Decentralized Finance:
The introduction of Cashscript
enables startups to build smart
contract driven DApps on the
BCH blockchain.
Within DeFi, the fund will invest
primarily in non-custodial
financial services to bring those
that lack access to traditional
banks and financial institutions
into the fold.
Payments:
To drive mainstream adoption
of Bitcoin Cash, individuals and
businesses need to be able to
seamlessly buy and spend their
crypto, whether in a P2P
fashion, at brick and mortar
retail outlets, or for goods and
services online.
As a result, the fund will invest
in startups that are building and
scaling payment gateways,
processors, wallets and merchant acquirers.
SLP:
SLP (Simple Ledger Protocol) was
introduced in 2019 and enables
anyone to easily and quickly
create, issue, and manage tokens.
The fund will invest in and support
startups that are building
businesses that incorporate SLP
tokens into their operations,
primarily within the FinTech space.
Other:
Outside of the fund’s 3 core themes, it will also selectively invest in other areas.
For example, in:
– Startups developing compelling
business support and ERP platforms
(e.g. payroll, HR, accounting).
– Decentralized media, news, and
information sharing businesses
– E-commerce platforms and
marketplaces
