Last year, P2 Ventures emerged as a distinct entity from Polygon Labs, with a focus on blockchain investments. Now, it’s earmarking funds and providing mentorship to bolster project founders, particularly those concentrated on the Polygon blockchain ecosystem. A contributor from Hadron FC remarked that the community offered the perfect blend of “capital and vibes.”
P2 Ventures, a venture capital firm with a blockchain emphasis, was established late last year as a separate entity from developer Polygon Labs. It has pledged $50 million to support startup founders, potentially igniting fresh initiatives within the Polygon ecosystem.
The investment from P2 Ventures will be channeled to founders via Hadron FC, a program tailored for founders with hubs in Dubai and New York, according to a press release. This program encompasses mentorship, legal and regulatory guidance, networking opportunities, and “comprehensive assistance in navigating the complexities of startup development and fundraising,” the release stated. Among the initial 36 projects onboarded, several participated in a week of collaborative efforts at the Dubai facility. Shreyansh Singh, head of investments at P2 Ventures, expressed confidence in Hadron Club’s unparalleled capacity to nurture the aspirations of forward-thinking founders within the Polygon ecosystem.
Ajit Tripathi, a core contributor at Hadron FC, noted that the community provided the ideal mix of “support, capital, and ambiance.”
Initially part of Polygon Labs, the principal developer of various Polygon layer-2 networks built on Ethereum, P2 Ventures transitioned into an independent unit with its own 10-person team late last year, rebranding itself as P2 Ventures.
