The fund, which supports early-stage startups developing blockchain-based solutions for the Web3 landscape, has gained traction and expanded its investor network from six to over 70 participants in less than nine months.

Ashish Singhal, Co-Founder and CEO of CoinSwitch, expressed his pride in the fund's accomplishments, stating, "Our fund's philosophy was born out of the challenges we faced while setting up CoinSwitch. The roadblock then led us to establish a fund that not only provides funds but also expertise and networking opportunities. It is with great pride that I share our achievement of facilitating approximately $25 million in subsequent funding for pioneering innovations within the Web3 space."

Among the 12 startups that have received funding are PYOR, Silence Labs, AirStack, Mohash, Shield, PolyTrade, BitsCrunch, and PlayZap. These startups operate in key areas such as blockchain infrastructure, blockchain analytics, and real-world asset tokenisation.
