Foresight Ventures Earmarks $10 Million to Support & Incubate Innovative Web3 Startups

Foresight Ventures, a crypto fund whose AUM grew from $80 Million to over $400 Million this year, announces the launch of Foresight X, an incubator program with $10 Million allocated to fund the next wave of disruptive blockchain projects. In partnership with industry-leading developer hub Gitcoin, which closed public goods funding with OKX, Protocol Labs and Foresight Ventures earlier this month, Foresight and Gitcoin will share incentives and help foster collaborations across the Western and Eastern development communities and markets.

Forest Bai, Co-founder at Foresight Ventures, said, “As one of the leading crypto VCs based in Asia, we understand very well that bear markets are periods of massive innovation and growth. We are excited to launch Foresight X and put $10M in initiatives behind the innovative projects emerging from the current economic downturn.”

Azeem Khan, Head of Partnerships & Fundraising at Gitcoin, shared, “We’re extremely excited to be working alongside an amazing partner in Foresight Ventures. The road to true mainstream adoption is a long one, which makes it even better to make sure we’re working alongside organizations trying to see this ecosystem truly thrive. And being able to extend the assistance we can offer towards Asia is a prospect we’re looking forward to executing on together.”
