Circle Internet Financial has launched Circle Ventures to invest in early-stage blockchain companies that align with its mission of enhancing global economic prosperity through seamless financial exchanges. By introducing Circle Ventures, the company aims to support entrepreneurs and startups with financial capital, thereby accelerating the development of technologies and products necessary for achieving its mission. The initiative seeks to create a level playing field for entrepreneurs and individual investors, with the hope that some projects might become Circle customers in the future, although that is not the current objective. Circle emphasizes the importance of collaboration and connectivity within the blockchain ecosystem and encourages both existing and new connections to contribute ideas and projects to Circle Ventures.
