The platform has already signed partnership deals with Wimbledon, FIFA, Authentic Brands Group (ABG), Mastercard, Death Row Records, Wētā Workshop, Snoop Dogg, Timbaland, Keanu Reeves and Alexandra Grant to collaborate on various metaverse and web3 projects.Senderoff and McDonald have been active investors in web3 and the blockchain industry for more than six years, with Senderoff having founded the blockchain-focused investment fund Raised in Space. Raised in Space led investments in over 20 early-stage blockchain startups.On the other hand, McDonald co-founded NetX Fund, which invested in over 60 portfolio companies across different tech segments.Futureverse’s recent fundraising came at a time when venture funding for web3 startups has been on a decline. In a recent report by CrunchBase, funding in the web3 space is expected to decline for the third consecutive quarter.However, this does not seem to deter Senderoff and McDonald, who are looking to back the right projects with $250,000 to $2 million each.****Stay up to date:Subscribe to our newsletter using&nbsp;<a href="https://nftgators.substack.com/" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow">this link</a>&nbsp;– we won’t spam!<ul><li><a href="https://news.google.com/publications/CAAqBwgKMKqZrgswt6TGAw?hl=en-US&amp;gl=US&amp;ceid=US%3Aen" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow">Google News</a></li><li><a href="https://twitter.com/NFTgators" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow">Twitter</a></li><li><a href="https://t.me/NFTgatorsNews" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow">Telegram</a></li><li><a href="https://www.linkedin.com/company/nftgators/" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow">LinkedIn</a></li><li><a href="https://facebook.com/NFTgators-103707808818830" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow">Facebook</a></li><li><a href="https://www.tiktok.com/@nftgators" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow">TikTok</a></li></ul>The post <a rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow" href="https://www.nftgators.com/futureverse-co-founders-launch-50m-born-ready-venture-fund-and-studio/">Futureverse Co-Founders Launch $50M Born Ready Venture Fund and Studio</a> appeared first on <a rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow" href="https://www.nftgators.com">NFTgators </a>.
