SEI基金會揭幕了6500萬美元的風險投資，以分散科學的投資（DESCI）生態系統投資

SEI基金會在該街區首次發布的公告中表示，其“ Sapien Capital - Open Science I Fund I”將希望投資於第1層區塊鏈SEI（SEI）的Desci項目。

The Sei Foundation has announced the launch of a $65 million venture fund, named "Sapien Capital – Open Science Fund I," to support decentralized science (DeSci) projects building on the Sei (SEI) layer 1 blockchain.

SEI基金會宣布了一個耗資6500萬美元的風險基金，名為“ Sapien Capital - 開放科學基金I”，以支持SEI（SEI）第1層區塊鏈上的分散科學（DESCI）項目。

According to an announcement first shared with The Block, the fund will invest in DeSci startups, including those working on gamified drug discovery and wearables, with check sizes ranging from $100,000 to $2 million. The fund will deploy capital over the next three to four years and is open to both project tokens and equity.

根據與該街區首次共享的公告，該基金將投資於Desci初創公司，包括從事遊戲的藥物發現和可穿戴設備的那些，其支票尺寸從100,000美元到200萬美元不等。該基金將在未來三到四年內部署資本，並向項目代幣和股權開放。

The fund will not offer grants and is separate from the Sei ecosystem fund, which provides grants to support projects building on Sei.

該基金將不提供贈款，並且與SEI生態系統基金分開，該基金為支持SEI建設的項目提供了贈款。

Sei Foundation’s head of business development and investments, Justin Barlow, said the fund will invest in startups at various stages, from pre-seed to Series A. It will also consider follow-on investments in promising projects.

SEI基金會的業務發展和投資主管Justin Barlow表示，該基金將在各個階段（從預種子到系列）進行投資。它還將考慮在有希望的項目中進行後續投資。

Highlighting the fund's focus on early-stage DeSci projects, Barlow noted that the fund will support startups building decentralized protocols, tools and applications for scientific research, drug discovery and other use cases.

Barlow強調了該基金對早期Desci項目的關注，該基金將支持創業公司建立分散的協議，工具和應用，以進行科學研究，藥物發現和其他用例。

"We're excited to see how Sapien Capital can help accelerate the growth of the DeSci ecosystem and support the development of new technologies that will benefit society as a whole," Barlow added.

Barlow補充說：“我們很高興看到Sapien Capital如何能夠幫助加速降級生態系統的增長並支持將使整個社會受益的新技術的發展。”

DeSci has emerged as a key area of interest for crypto and blockchain startups, with several projects launching in recent months to tokenize scientific research, data and other assets.

Desci已成為加密和區塊鏈初創企業的關鍵領域，最近幾個月推出了一些項目，以使科學研究，數據和其他資產啟動。

This has also attracted the attention of VCs, with several large funds making notable investments in DeSci startups.

這也引起了VC的注意，其中幾項大型資金對Desci初創公司進行了顯著投資。

For instance, a16z Crypto participated in AminoChain's $10 million Series A round last September, while YZi Labs, formerly Binance Labs, backed BIO Protocol in November.

例如，A16Z Crypto於去年9月參加了Aminochain耗資1000萬美元的A輪比賽，而Yzi Labs（以前是Binance Labs）於11月支持Bio Protocol。
