On Friday, the DeFi Alliance, a DeFi startup incubator and accelerator, announced a roster of 11 new members. eGirl Capital, the social media terror, and internet subculture-inspired new venture capital firm.
Members of eGirl, are known for their compelling analyzes of the notoriously complex cryptocurrency markets as they are for posting nothing more than just animated porn for weeks.
One of the members (perhaps one of the best and brightest of the cryptocurrency enthusiasts on Twitter) uses an internet personality based on the Pokémon Ditto turned into a sofa. The constellation of meme elements that animate these various comic snippets is too exhausting to summarize.
eGirl has been appearing without pause in some high-profile press releases lately. The group took part in a $ 4.9 million funding round for the DeFi Alchemix protocol.
eGirl also announced investments in Radicle and Unisocks. Next week they will post the first episode of a series of podcasts.
There is a Veil of Mistery About its Funding: Anonymous Money, and Anonymous Venture Capital
eGirl arrived in the world of investment during the professionalization and institutional adoption of cryptocurrencies. Hedge funds that appeared before completely dismissing cryptocurrencies as a scam are now setting up trading desks. Assets are getting so boring that retirement funds are re-directing money to digital currencies.
Traditional venture capital firms bring various degrees of profit to a project in addition to money. Delphi Digital is a good example, while it can actively contribute to the architecture and engineering of a protocol’s contract and token economies. Many bring their experience in public relations and can attract significant publicity.
So, users keep asking questions about how good it would be to work with an organization made up mostly of anonymous and, in the same way, what unknown people think they can contribute. On the matter, eGirl said:
“An anonymous founder started cryptocurrencies with a strong pseudonym constructed right into the core of Bitcoin protocol and all those who came after it. Bitcoin is more solid for that too”.
eGirl said: “While eGirl has invested in a wide range of anonymous and non-anonymous projects, anonymous funds that fund unnamed teams can reverse this trend and bring back the privacy-preserving qualities we all value at the bottom. Of our hearts “.
Although eGirl may be the first famous example of an entirely anonymous venture capital firm, it won’t be the last of its nature. There is a world waiting for a new project like this.
Considering that eGirl is relatively veteran, the group offered some advice for enterprising frog avatars. These offers intend to form their investment organizations; including holding members accountable to each other with clearly defined and solid roles and taking the time to develop theses of sophisticated investment and high conviction.
