Investment DAO Hydra Ventures Raises $10M To Fund Other DAOs

Hydra Ventures, a decentralized investment fund, said it raised $10 million to invest in other investment-focused decentralized autonomous organizations (DAO).

Web3 investors such as 1kx, ConsenSys, Collab+Currency, Wicklow Capital and Seed Club were among the firms joining the round.

Hydra Ventures describes itself as a "fund of funds," aimed at pooling investment for other investment DAOs looking to raise capital on behalf of their communities. There are over 40 such DAOs, according to data site DeepDAO.

"Hydra Ventures DAO operates on the thesis that the investment DAO space will continue to grow, and ecosystem participants are better positioned to assess investments than a typical investment fund that is centrally owned and run by a few select partners," the firm said.
