Giakaa Capital Investment Focus
Giakaa Capital investment focus is on teams from across the world who are building the future, using blockchain technology as a catalyst to revolutionize how humanity works, lives, interacts, and transacts.
Building the Future
Accelerate
At Giakaa Capital, we believe that blockchain is the catalyst for tech megatrends reshaping the future.
We support all features of blockchain as a transformative technology but focus mainly on two of its features which we believe will revolutionize the way forward for work, society, and economics:
Trust capability
Blockchain is a distributed,
robust, secure, privacy-
preserving, and immutable
record-keeping framework and
therefore can positively transform
the nature of trust, value sharing,
and transactions.
The use of blockchain technology has
the potential to raise trust and
legitimacy concerning the
functioning of public, economic, and
social institutions, most of which are
suffering an unprecedented erosion of trust. Without trust, there is no way forward.
Decentralization capacity
Blockchain allows for the democratization of the
world’s most valuable resources, transforms value
systems, and creates new assets.
Giakaa Capital investments are based on six fundamental pillars
Advancing Digital Public Infrastructure
Our core focus is on startups that are redefining digital public infrastructure through Blockchain and Web3 technologies. We invest in innovative platforms and solutions that enhance accessibility, security, and efficiency in digital services, ensuring that the benefits of technological advancements are universally accessible and contribute to the public good.
Championing Mass Adoption
We believe that the true potential of Blockchain and Web3 technologies lies in their widespread adoption. Our investment strategy prioritizes ventures that are dedicated to making these technologies accessible to all, breaking down barriers to entry and fostering a global ecosystem where digital innovations are a part of everyday life.
