The mission of my life is to get Web3 to masses, that will happen only if we have pioneering Web3 apps and Symbolic Capital has been setup to help those early stage developers to realize their visions. Symbolic will offer a level of support to our portfolio companies that is unique.
We built blockchain companies from the ground up and are intimately familiar with the unique challenges these projects face.
