Metaverse Project Futureverse's Co-Founders Start $50M Venture Fund
The Born Ready venture studio will invest in early-stage Web3 and metaverse projects.
Two weeks after announcing a new funding round, metaverse startup Futureverse co-founders Shara Senderoff and Aaron McDonald have started a $50 million venture fund and studio titled Born Ready. The fund will focus on early stage Web3 and metaverse technology investments, according to a press release.
Futureverse was formed in late 2022 through the merger of eight companies, and three more have since been absorbed into the operation. The startup’s most notable projects are FLUF World, a non-fungible token (NFT) collection featuring cartoon rabbits, and the mobile soccer game AI League. Futureverse recently announced raising $54 million in a Series A round led by 10T Holdings with participation from Ripple Labs.
