Why you should listen:<\/h2>\n

Framework Ventures is a team of technologists, researchers and investors who participate in open crypto networks to build open source finance. Framework is a technology company, building products and services to support the open blockchain networks that they invest in. The firm has backed many key companies in the decentralized finance space, including Synthetix, Chainlink, Aave, and The Graph.<\/p>\n

Key takeaway:<\/h2>\n

Framework Ventures believes a new age of venture capital is here. They call this thesis Network Capital. Rather than just hold onto an asset, this type of investing aims to be more hands-on. In the new era of open-source decentralized finance, the best investing requires a new hybrid model where stakeholders are investing, market-making, staking, validating, and participating across all aspects of the ecosystem.<\/p>\n
