Singapore - May 7, 2021 (Investorideas.com Newswire) NGC Ventures, one of the world's leading blockchain investment firms, has announced the launch of a $20 million USD strategic investment fund. In partnership with the Solana Foundation, a web-scale blockchain founded by former Qualcomm, Intel, and Dropbox engineers, the fund aims to accelerate the growth and development of key blockchain projects in the Solana ecosystem.
This is one of five strategic investment funds that will bring $100 million of new capital to the Solana ecosystem. NGC Ventures is joined by exchanges Huobi and Gate.io, HashKey digital asset management group, and MATH, a multi-platform cross-chain wallet. Composed of a growing community of projects building on Solana, the Solana ecosystem has raised over $125M since January 2021. This injection of funds into the Solana ecosystem will coincide with the Asia leg of Solana's Global Hackathon.

Together, we look forward to investing in projects with practical use cases that solve not only the problems of tomorrow but those that are holding us back today."

In addition to the funding, NGC Ventures plans to contribute to the overall Solana ecosystem by offering mentorship based on decades of entrepreneurship experience, specifically on business development, hiring, as well as prudent treasury and financial management.
Tony Gu, Founding Partner of NGC Ventures, adds, "NGC Ventures is committed to supporting the industry's disruptors of which Solana is a driving force with their unique approach to solving blockchain's scalability problem.
