#34 - Cerulean Ventures Catalyzing Radical Systemic Change

    • Entrepreneurship

In episode 34 of our podcast, we delve into the current state of Web3 amidst recent crypto market downturns, with a specific focus on Cerulean Ventures and their investment strategy. While some remain skeptical about the transformative potential of blockchain technology, others fail to discern meaningful endeavors from mere speculation. Cerulean Ventures, however, believes in the regenerative power of natural assets and backs crypto and Web3 companies that are building the necessary infrastructure and tools for scaling climate impact. By taking a hands-on approach, they assist their portfolio companies across various domains, from technical aspects to marketing and operations. One significant theme explored is the shift from ownership to stewardship of the Earth, facilitated by Web3 and blockchain technology, which enables novel forms of value exchange and interlinked hyperlocal communities. We highlight examples of promising initiatives, such as stakeholder governance and accounting systems for nature, alongside the regenerative renaissance—a term emphasizing the regeneration of soil, biodiversity, and other natural assets. While some aspects of Web3 are overhyped, Cerulean Ventures remains focused on unlocking value through interblockchain communication and other infrastructural innovations. The episode concludes with a call for discernment in evaluating Web3 initiatives and emphasizes the potential of Web3 and the regenerative renaissance in unlocking systemic change and shifting towards stewardship of the Earth.

co-founded Cerulean Ventures with his partner Matthew Stotts. Cerulean Ventures backs crypto / web3 companies building the infrastructure and tools necessary to scale climate impact in this decade.

Cerulean Ventures is an investment firm that believes natural assets will unlock the next $50 trillion in growth, while incentivizing the regeneration of Earth through new coordination technologies.

We focus on the ecosystems in Cosmos Network and Regen Network, but invest actively outside it, as we believe the value unlocked by interblockchain communication (IBC) and other infrastructural innovations will rapidly scale climate impact through user-focused web3 tools.

We take a deeply hands-on approach informed by our own experience and background as founders, helping our portfolio with everything from the technical (mechanism design, product management, data engineering) to marketing and operational (community engagement, governance, tokenomics design, recruiting).

He also actively contribute to DAOs, as a steward to both PrimeDAO and GnosisGuild.
