Salad Ventures is excited to announce our latest private token sale round which raised $13.5 million! This latest round follows a $2M seed round led by Multicoin Capital, bringing our total funding to $15.5M. The funding is being used to build features for GuildOS, expand our play-to-earn infrastructure, and amplify our education projects. Investors include Alameda Research, Alan Howard and BH Digital, C2 Ventures, Foundation Capital, Gemini Frontier Fund, Winklevoss Capital, Crossbeam Venture Partners, Polygon Studios, and more.
“We’re excited by the global economic opportunities unlocked by blockchain games, in which guilds have emerged as key facilitators of this growing ecosystem. With Apollo Squad, GuildOS, and Salad Academy, Salad Ventures is building a sophisticated flywheel. When combined with the company’s demonstrated ability to attract talent and secure promising assets, Salad is well positioned in this expanding space.” — Alex Notis, Crossbeam Venture Partners
GuildOS, is our secure, web-based platform that allows anyone to start, manage, and scale a play-to-earn guild in any blockchain game. This is the only web-based tool in the market that lets its users manage scholar accounts, wallets, and private keys while performing in-game actions all from a single dashboard across many games. Access to GuildOS will be granted via NFTs that will act as authentication keys. We are deep in development of GuildOS and plan to release it, along with the NFTs, by the end of Q2 2022.
“Despite the fact that a deep ecosystem has developed over the last 12 months, most P2E game tools are focused solely on Axie Infinity and provide ‘read-only’ dashboards therefore not solving the real challenges related to operating a play-to-earn guild. At Salad Ventures, we’re addressing this problem head-on by decentralizing the gaming guild model and developing a guild operating system that can interact directly with game APIs and blockchains, allowing game managers to coordinate multiple scholar accounts across different blockchain games.” — Felix Sim, Salad Ventures Co-Founder and Project Lead
Play-to-earn (P2E) gaming, or “GameFi,” is the financialization of gaming using crypto incentives to reward gamers for accomplishing specific in-game tasks or work and is one of the fastest growing categories in crypto.
“The full-stack combination of Apollo Squad, GuildOS, and Salad Academy gives Salad Ventures the unique ability to provide the foundational elements necessary for the emerging P2E ecosystem to prosper. We’re proud to support Felix and the Salad Ventures team on their mission to stay ahead of the game,” — Marty Stenson, Ventures Lead at Gemini.
In addition to developing GuildOS, the new funds will also go to further scaling Salad Academy, Salad Ventures’ massive open online course (MOOC) platform specializing in play-to-earn blockchain games. Since its launch in December 2021, over 6,000 students have signed up at the academy to learn P2E strategies. We also partnered with Project Galaxy to issue NFTs to students that certify the completion of their course.
“For GameFi to succeed, robust infrastructure is essential. GuildOS will be a critical component to supporting the rapidly growing ecosystem of games, guilds and players in Web 3.0,” — Brian Lee, Partner, Alameda Research
