SEI基金會推出了6500萬美元的風險投資基金，該基金集中在Desci上，因為該行業獲得了動力

該風險基金將被稱為“ Sapien Capital - 開放科學基金I”，將專門投資於SEI區塊鏈本地建設的Desci初創公司

Sei Foundation has launched a $65 million venture fund to support the growth of decentralized science (DeSci) startups building on the Sei blockchain.

SEI基金會已啟動了一個耗資6500萬美元的風險基金，以支持SEI區塊鏈上的分散科學（DESCI）初創公司的增長。

The fund, called Sapien Capital — Open Science Fund I, will make venture investments in both tokens and equity of DeSci startups, with check sizes ranging from $100,000 to $2 million. The foundation has fully committed the $65 million capital for the fund, which will be deployed over the next three to four years, said Justin Barlow, head of business development and investments at Sei Foundation and a former investor at Solana Ventures.

該基金稱為Sapien Capital - 開放科學基金I，將對Desci初創公司的代幣和權益進行風險投資，支票尺寸從100,000美元到200萬美元不等。 SEI基金會業務發展和投資負責人，Solana Ventures的前投資者賈斯汀·巴洛（Justin Barlow）表示，該基金會已全額投入了這筆6500萬美元的資本，該基金將在未來三到四年內部署。

The fund will not offer grants and is not an ecosystem fund. Instead, it will focus on early-stage DeSci startups building natively on Sei.

該基金將不提供贈款，也不是生態系統基金。取而代之的是，它將集中於在SEI上本地建設的早期降級初創公司。

"Our goal is to empower visionary founders who are building the infrastructure, applications and communities needed to support and scale this emerging vertical," said Barlow, in a statement.

巴洛在一份聲明中說：“我們的目標是賦予建立基礎設施，應用程序和社區支持和擴展這一新興垂直行業所需的有遠見的創始人。”

DeSci startups have gained traction in recent months, with Binance Labs making its first move into the sector with an investment in BIO Protocol last November. A16z also made its first DeSci investment in decentralized biobank platform AminoChain in September.

近幾個月來，Desci初創公司已經獲得了吸引力，而Binance Labs於去年11月對Bio Protocal進行了投資。 A16Z還於9月對分散的生物銀行平台氨基鏈進行了首次投資。

Barlow said that Sei Foundation began discussing launching the DeSci fund in the fall of 2024. He added that some of the biggest opportunities in DeSci are consumer-facing applications that have the potential to reach hundreds of millions of users.

巴洛說，SEI基金會於2024年秋開始討論啟動Desci基金。他補充說，Desci的一些最大機會是面向消費者的應用程序，有可能吸引數億用戶。

"Key areas of interest for the fund include more sophisticated wearables, user-owned data collectives, and gamified drug discovery, all underpinned by the innovative funding and ownership models crypto has developed over the last decade," said Barlow.

Barlow說：“該基金的關鍵領域包括更複雜的可穿戴設備，用戶擁有的數據集體和遊戲性藥物發現，這都是由創新的資金和所有權模型加密貨幣在過去十年中發展的。”
