Investment thesis
YBB is a venture fund dedicated to backing Web3 and blockchain projects that aim to improve the online environment for internet users. Founded by early angel investors in Polkadot, Near, and WOO, its team has been active in the blockchain space since 2013. The firm supports projects through four pillars: consulting on strategy, market analysis and token economics; funding early-stage ventures across multiple rounds and connecting them to top VCs; community building via content publishing and global community groups; and development support that links projects to YBB's portfolio ecosystem for technical and marketing collaboration.
