Venture-Capital Firm Northzone Raises $1B Fund for Fintech, Web3 Investments
Web3 is a "core sector" for the firm, one Northzone partner told the Block.
U.K. venture-capital firm Northzone has raised a 1 billion euro ($1.01 billion) fund to invest in innovative technology such as crypto, according to a press release on Tuesday.
- The London-based firm will use the money to support crypto and fintech startups, the Block reported. Web3 is a "core sector" for the firm, Wendy Xiao Schadeck, a partner at Northzone, told the Block. Web3 refers to the third generation of internet services driven by blockchain technology.
- This isn't the first time Northzone has looked to invest in crypto. In July 2021, Northzone led a $27 million funding round for Magic Numbers, an Ethereum-based authentication platform. Around the same time, the firm contributed to a $20 million funding round for Livepeer, a decentralized video transcoding platform also built on the Ethereum blockchain.
- Northzone didn't immediately respond to request for further details.
