Rollman Management, a mysterious venture capital firm, has completed a $50 million financing of the Web3 social media platform Wunder.Social

Yesterday, the Web3 social media platform Wunder.Social announced that it had completed a $50 million financing, led by Rollman Management.

Yesterday, Web3 social media platform Wunder.Social announced that it had completed a $50 million financing, led by Rollman Management, CoinDesk reported, adding that the platform is planning a token launch later this month.

Against the backdrop of the continued downturn in the primary market, such a large amount of financing is quite eye-catching. In addition, the fact that both the project party and venture capital institutions are little known has further deepened people's doubts about the authenticity of the financing.

This is not the first time that Rollman Management has appeared in the media. This institution, founded in 2022, has only begun to make frequent investments since the end of 2024. In less than 5 months, Rollman Management has invested in 11 crypto projects, with most of the investment amounts exceeding 20 million. The cumulative investment amount exceeds 200 million U.S. dollars.

At the same time, Rollman Management's investment portfolio projects are less well-known, and most of the projects are located in Europe, Australia and other places. The only financing history is Rollman's abrupt large financing. At the end of the financing press release, most of these projects are about to conduct IDO or token sales. In addition, Rollman Management almost always invests alone and has never invested in cooperation with well-known venture capital institutions.

Portfolio and style analysis

According to data from RootData and Cryptorank, Rollman Management currently has 11 investment portfolios, as shown in the figure below:

"Investment commitment" is a term that needs to be used with caution. From the literal meaning, it means that the project party promises to invest a specific amount of money in the project party. But there is a lot of room for manipulation behind it.

Previously, ChainCatcher had exposed GEM Digital, a venture capital firm with a similar investment style to Rollman Management. A project manager once said that GEM Digital had contacted the project via email and promised to invest $50 million, but when signing the investment contract, the project party found that GEM stated in the contract that it would not pay the money directly, but would make up for the investment with the profits after selling the tokens.

Rollman Management’s “investment commitment” may be different from GEM Digital, but its investment style is generally similar to GEM:

1. High-frequency, large-amount "investment commitments": Rollman Management's investments are relatively scattered, covering social, RWA, AI, infrastructure, and DeFi tracks, with a median investment amount of US$20 million. Among them, nearly half of the projects invested by VitalVeda, Tea-Fi, Candao, etc. are investment commitments rather than normal investments.

2. Choose low-profile projects: Among the 11 projects invested by Rollman, except for Elastos, which was founded earlier and has some popularity and dynamics in the Chinese-speaking region because it was founded in China, the other projects had almost no news before, and the released projects were almost not listed on mainstream exchanges.

3. Use the media to create momentum: Most of Rollman Management-related investment news is published on mainstream platforms such as Cointelegraph and CoinDesk. Most of them are published on Cointelegraph (with the word "sponsored" marked in the press release), and they are simply templates for financing news releases. The structure of the articles is highly similar, and it is obvious that they are from Rollman. (You can click here to feel the project names: AstraAI, Tea-Fi, Eventflo)

Rollman's investment news has only one purpose - to promote tokens for the project. Rollman took advantage of the crypto community's sensitivity to financing news. He spread the news of "huge investment" through authoritative media, attracted market attention and even pushed up the token price. Of course, even if the project has not issued a
