OpenSea Launches New Investment Arm and Grants Program
NFT marketplace OpenSea has launched an investment arm to fund Web3 projects including a community grants program to support community initiatives that benefit the wider Web3 and NFT ecosystem. The initiative will be led by OpenSea co-founder Alex Attalah. In addition to the capital, it will also offer access to company leadership and to its own venture partners, which include Andreessen Horowitz, Katie Haun, and Electric Capital, among others. As for the new investment arm, the project will focus on four key themes including the ‘shift to a multi-chain world’ for both fungible and non-fungible tokens, new NFT protocols, Web3 gaming, and social projects, and NFT aggregators that support both OpenSea and other marketplaces. “We hope that OpenSea Ventures will provide Web3 developers and NFT creators around the world with the resources they need to build new decentralized economies that give creators, developers, and consumers greater freedom and ownership,” the firm said.

With the new venture arm, OpenSea follows in the footsteps of US-based crypto exchange Coinbase, whose investment arm, Coinbase Ventures, participated in the NFT marketplace’s $2 million seed round in 2018. OpenSea recently closed a $300 million Series C funding round led by Paradigm and Coatue which resulted in the company’s valuation hitting $13.3 billion.

Digital Week 2.0: Largest Coming Together of Southeast Asia’s Digital Future
Digital consumption is now an ingrained way of life in Southeast Asia. Early adopters have expanded usage--pre-pandemic users are consuming four more digital services than they did before 2020 and the 60 million consumers who joined since the pandemic started are here to stay, with nine in 10 consumers who tried a new digital service in 2020 are continued using that service in 2021, according to a Bain, Google & Temasek report.
From mom-and-pop stores who had reservations in adoption e-commerce to larger companies enabling millions of their workforce to work remotely, a positive evolution is underway as companies and their stakeholders find new ways of connecting, collaborating and keeping in pace with their evolving needs.
This massive digitalisation has fuelled the need for data centres. The data center market in Southeast Asia is growing significantly, with multiple investments in Singapore, Indonesia, Malaysia, Vietnam, Philippines and Thailand. Southeast Asia is among the fastest-growing digital markets worldwide. The internet usage and social media trends have increased the demand for faster internet networks and data centers to store data generated by them.
The internet penetration is one of the strongest drivers for the data center market in Southeast Asia. Moreover, social media usage among consumers and digital transformation by enterprises across industry verticals are other major factors promoting data center growth. The investments are growing significantly across Singapore, Indonesia, Malaysia, Vietnam, Cambodia, and Thailand. In 2020, Equinix, Digital Realty, NTT Global Data Centers, Space DC & GIC, ST Telemedia Global Data Centres, DTP, and DCI Indonesia were major investors in the Southeast Asia data center market.
Looking ahead to 2022 and beyond, new questions arise as millions of users from Brisbane to Batam embrace IoT, AI, and 5G. How can we store this data sustainably? Are there vulnerabilities in endpoint security still to account for? How can SME's leverage cloud technology as effectively as enterprises?
Simply put, it is time to get together and talk about the future of the Cloud & IT industries in this region. And so, W.Media has come back with Digital Week: Southeast Asia, after a hugely successful 2021 edition.
The 2nd Edition of Digital Week with an enhanced Hybrid format brings the best knowledge sharing and quality networking experience in South East Asia.
Our SEA Digital Week 2022 is back on the 9th-11th March with a hybrid style that combines both an insightful digital experience with global speakers and valuable in-person networking opportunities that we've been missing during the pandemic. As part of our upcoming Digital Week, we will focus on the markets of Southeast Asia where they will highlight different market insights and trends of the cloud, data center and the IT industry, as well as discuss with the experts about the current updates of this ecosystem.
