What will be the impact of the collaboration? 

Venom Ventures Fund (VVF), a much-hyped venture capital fund, aims to invest in early-stage startups with a focus on payments, asset management, banking services, and gaming on Web3. Peter Knez, a former BlackRock executive, and Mustafa Kheriba, a seasoned investor, will join the fund’s leadership team.

Through their partnership, the two firms are creating a “blockchain-agnostic fund” that will be used to invest in Web3 decentralized applications and focusing solely on long-term deals in the sector, such as payments, asset management, decentralized finance, banking services, and GameFi.

Despite the type of blockchain a project is based on, the foundation will support it if it has a clear purpose and vision. The most promising Web3 products will be promoted by this procedure. Lastly, it must be indicated that Venom Ventures Fund aims to establish Abu Dhabi as a leading global fintech hub and a hotspot for splitting ideas in the unpredictable Web3, blockchain, and cryptocurrency fields.
