Frankfurt am Main, 14 November 2023 - tokentus investment AG ("tokentus", ISIN: DE000A3CN9R8; WKN: A3CN9R; Symbol:
14D), based in Frankfurt am Main, has invested USD 1 million as a limited partner in the newly launched Lightspeed
Faction Fund I. According to the fund, it focuses on investments in the form of equity and tokens in Seed and Series A
rounds of companies in the cryptocurrency and blockchain technology sectors. The total fund volume amounts to USD 285
million.
"As a joint venture with Lightspeed Venture Partners, we offer a unique blend of two worlds: crypto expertise paired
with deep Silicon Valley roots and business scaling resources," said the management of Lightspeed Faction Fund I. Sam
Harrison, Managing Partner of the fund, is a Senior Advisor for the blockchain sector at Lightspeed Venture Partners
and formerly co-founder of Blockchain.com Ventures. Banafsheh Fathieh, General Partner of the fund, is also an advisor
for the blockchain sector at Lightspeed Venture Partners and former Head of Investments at Prosus Ventures. Lightspeed
Venture Partners has offices in six countries on three continents and, through its global presence, claims to have a
large co-investor network with a strong track record in blockchain and crypto investments.
Lightspeed Faction Fund I's early-stage investments are described as focusing on three areas, namely (1) developer
infrastructure for protocols, middleware, and tokenisation, (2) financial services, both DeFi and CeFi, and (3) Web3
infrastructure including gaming, NFTs and metaverse.
"With this investment, tokentus is indirectly gaining access to a portfolio of very promising, early-stage investments
in the blockchain space. As tokentus, we tend to invest directly in growth or later stage. In our opinion, this closes
an important and strategic gap in our market coverage," says Oliver Michel, CEO of tokentus investment AG. "With
Faction, we believe we have found a very experienced and well-known founding and management team that could help us to
sustainably expand our important network in the international blockchain investor scene," says Benedikt Schulz,
Investment Manager at tokentus. "We at tokentus also assume that we will be able to invest in an interesting target
through and with Faction on several occasions," adds Mona Tiesler, Investment Manager at tokentus.
