Investment thesis
Appold provides comprehensive blockchain advisory services including strategic advisory, asset tokenisation, operational resilience, due diligence, treasury management, Web3 governance and asset recovery, helping institutions and blockchain companies reach 'institutional-ready' status. As a private company it sometimes grows its balance sheet by pursuing significant opportunities in the blockchain industry, occasionally co-investing alongside clients or taking equity stakes in projects in lieu of charging fees. Its focus is advisory and technology work rather than operating as a conventional venture fund.
