SEI基金会推出了6500万美元的风险投资基金，该基金集中在Desci上，因为该行业获得了动力

该风险基金将被称为“ Sapien Capital - 开放科学基金I”，将专门投资于SEI区块链本地建设的Desci初创公司

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

SEI基金会已启动了一个耗资6500万美元的风险基金，以支持SEI区块链上的分散科学（DESCI）初创公司的增长。

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.

该基金称为Sapien Capital - 开放科学基金I，将对Desci初创公司的代币和权益进行风险投资，支票尺寸从100,000美元到200万美元不等。 SEI基金会业务发展和投资负责人，Solana Ventures的前投资者贾斯汀·巴洛（Justin Barlow）表示，该基金会已全额投入了这笔6500万美元的资本，该基金将在未来三到四年内部署。

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.

该基金将不提供赠款，也不是生态系统基金。取而代之的是，它将集中于在SEI上本地建设的早期降级初创公司。

"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.

巴洛在一份声明中说：“我们的目标是赋予建立基础设施，应用程序和社区支持和扩展这一新兴垂直行业所需的有远见的创始人。”

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.

近几个月来，Desci初创公司已经获得了吸引力，而Binance Labs于去年11月对Bio Protocal进行了投资。 A16Z还于9月对分散的生物银行平台氨基链进行了首次投资。

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.

巴洛说，SEI基金会于2024年秋开始讨论启动Desci基金。他补充说，Desci的一些最大机会是面向消费者的应用程序，有可能吸引数亿用户。

"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说：“该基金的关键领域包括更复杂的可穿戴设备，用户拥有的数据集体和游戏性药物发现，这都是由创新的资金和所有权模型加密货币在过去十年中发展的。”
