An investor also a Builder
Gate Ventures, the venture capital arm of Gate.com, is focused on investments in decentralized infrastructure, middleware, and applications that will reshape the world in the digital age. Working with industrial leaders across the world, we are able to help promising teams and startups that have the ideas to redefine social and financial interactions. As a long term investor, we are committed to offering supports in product development, operation scaling, and global growth for our portfolio companies.
Trust has been the core of social and financial activities. Decentralized infrastructure offers a more efficient and trustless model in the digital age.
By bridging silos and streamlining interactions, blockchain middleware amplifies on-chain efficiency. It is the ultimate catalyst for enterprise-wide adoption.
Application-layer is where most users interact with each other. On the path to autonomous worlds, we foresee tremendous user-growths in dApps.
