€250 million. That's the headline. The size of the fund is not what truly excites me about P101’s Programma 103. No, it’s the amazing opportunities that it opens up! Italy, a country well known for its artistic legacy, historical marvels and…yes, bureaucratic conundrums, is looking to define a new tech...
Let's cut to the chase. A91 Partners recently closed their second fund at a huge $665 million. So long as they are paying attention to global VC trends, that’s very good news for them and even better news for anyone else. Because while everyone's been obsessing over China, the real...
The numbers don't lie. A 41% decline in startup funding year-over-year isn’t simply a downturn – it’s a freefall. And the 95% collapse in local investment? That’s not a rollback, that’s a close to complete disappearance. We’re not discussing just a short-term disaster—you wouldn’t be that lucky if you were...
Imagine this: a young Filipino developer, let's call him Miguel, burning the midnight oil in his cramped apartment. He's got a brilliant idea for a decentralized app that could revolutionize agricultural supply chains, directly connecting farmers to consumers and cutting out exploitative middlemen. He's passionate, he's driven, but he's hitting...
Forget the infographic gloss and the venture capital bling. As someone who's seen the Bangladesh startup scene up close, I'm tired of the same old song and dance. We need to have an honest discussion, a hard-core gut-check. We're not failing because we lack "potential." We're failing because of these...
The buzz around Web3 gaming on the PS5 is over-the-top. All anyone wants to talk about is Illuvium, Big Time, Shrapnel, Phantom Galaxies, and The Sandbox. By 2025, it’s estimated that one in five PS5 users will take the plunge into the blockchain gaming metaverse. I’m Liu Wenjing, and I’ve...
Will 2025 prove to be the year Filipino gamers are unshackled at last? I’m not referring to avoiding a third consecutive down-the-rankings slide in Mobile Legends. And that’s what I’m doing—escaping the financial limitations, one NFT at a time. The meeting of Web3 and the PS5 is more than a...
Let’s face it, the whole of Web3 has been shouting for a proper fix to its scalability miseries. We’ve heard the promises, seen the vaporware and experienced enough hype to launch a thousand Dogecoins. While all of this has been going on, AGII has recently released a truly remarkable AI-driven...
Nigeria’s SEC isn't the only agency putting a stop on crypto licenses. Busha and Quidax received the unanimous blessing at first, but now? It's "level three due diligence" time. Now, nobody likes delays and let’s not sugarcoat this delay. THIS IS HUGE THIS IS NOT A SMALL DEFEAT! It’s a...
$25,000 EV from Bezos? Sounds revolutionary, feels…familiar. We've been promised affordable electric vehicles for years, haven't we? Remember Aptera? Elio Motors? Where are they now? That's the anxiety creeping in. This is not just a matter of a car; this is a matter of trust. So can we actually take...
