DWF Labs (@DWFLabs): Investment strategies and founder resilience were key topics at Pre-TOKEN2049 Friday: Global Innovators – Dubai Edition 🇦🇪

Investment strategies and founder resilience were key topics at Pre-TOKEN2049 Friday: Global Innovators – Dubai Edition 🇦🇪 @AlessiaBaumgar, VP of Ecosystems at @DWFLabs, joined the conversation to share key insights: 1️⃣ Market Sentiment: The current market conditions are particularly challenging. While many investors remain cautious, at DWF Labs, we're selectively deploying capital, identifying opportunities even in tough macro environments.​ 2️⃣ Focus Areas: As multi-stage and vertical-agnostic investors, we're closely monitoring emerging ecosystems. Our emphasis is on newer blockchain networks, stablecoins, and payment solutions.​ 3️⃣ Advice for founders: be conservative. Cut costs where possible, be cautious with hiring, and ensure enough runway to weather an extended bear market. 4️⃣ Investment Criteria: We're prioritising teams with tangible revenue streams and strong execution capabilities. 5️⃣ Our Differentiator: as one of the largest market makers, we offer portfolio companies access to exchanges, product feedback, marketing support, KOL connections, and our wider network 🤝 Thank you to the organisers, @CV_Labs and @DMCCAuthority, our fellow panellists @BlockChainBene and @emptymetadata, and all attendees for a productive and insightful session. We look forward to continuing to support innovation and growth across the Web3 ecosystem.
