Zug, Switzerland. 17 April 2024. CV VC, the blockchain venture capital firm dedicated to advancing the utility of blockchain technology, introduces CV Pad, a launchpad that opens up opportunities to expertly vetted Web3 projects. In collaboration with DuckDAO, CV Pad will catalyze the growth of new Web3 initiatives. CV Pad answers the need for a platform that brings expert VC experience to the rapidly evolving Launchpad space.

• CV Pad leverages CV VC’s extensive global venture capital experience and presents curated Web3 projects
  

• Investor-focused: By harnessing the investment, incubation, and community structures of CV VC, CV Labs, and DuckDao, CV Pad combines the know-how and experience of the traditional VC world with the agility of the Web3 sector

• Founder-centric: CV Pad, as a Launchpad +, offers not only investment avenues for early-stage projects but also comprehensive support. This includes launch assistance and access to partner business networks, prioritizing founders’ needs beyond funding 

• Holders of the CV Pad utility token, $CVPAD, gain the ability to invest in projects on the platform

Mathias Ruch, CEO of CV VC said:

“CV Pad is the continuation of our strategy launched in 2022 to explore early-stage token investments. CV Pad extends and enhances our existing offering for investors, granting them access to earlier stages and token-only investments. By expanding our offering, we are addressing the fact that pioneering Web3 projects may consider investor participation through tokens rather than equity or a hybrid model. As such, CV Pad is part of our long-term growth strategy, where we aim to expand our product offering for investors further. It is also illustrative of our thesis, which reflects the new global mindset of enabling individual sovereignty in the new world order through Web3 technology”.

CV VC invests in global blockchain pioneers who are building the rails of the new internet and driving trust and efficiencies for a better functioning world. CV Pad embodies this mission by enabling token investment. 

Money evolves. It's not just fiat anymore. Tokens and crypto represent a new medium of exchange and an emerging asset class. CV Pad acknowledges this shift and aims to make participation in the new asset class accessible to everyone, and therefore, CV Pad is launched.
