Advanced Blockchain AG is a blockchain venture studio focused on promoting, building, and investing in disruptive technologies including investments in tokens. Its main markets are thus the venture capital market for companies active in the blockchain technology with a special focus on the decentralised finance area and infrastructure projects enabling the web 3.0. Advanced Blockchain is an innovation hub that is well-diversified in its portfolio, representing both incubation and investment. The venture studio arm of Advanced Blockchain operates as a leading incubator of projects building on top of the Polkadot ecosystem such as Composable Finance. Advanced Blockchain is not only incubating the most promising projects but have created and continue to build a diverse portfolio of investments because of their expertise and their network have allowed them to access some of the industry's most promising deal flow at an early stage, including Element Finance, Obol Technologies, and Neon Labs. The Company’s investment strategy pursues two goals: maximize its return on investments and identify ecosystem synergies. Supporting the most promising projects with smart capital, enables them to accomplish their mission, in turn providing the company with a good return on investment. Additionally, the synergies allow the company to exponentially grow the potential and capabilities of their portfolio companies through collaborative growth and integration, as the example of Composable Finance (an incubated project) securing the 8th Parachain on the Polkadot network by raising over 160 million USD in their crowd loan. This resulted in an implied valuation of 350 million USD for the LAYR Token and therefore, almost 20 million USD for Advanced Blockchain 2 million USD initial investment alone.
