AVI Open Event 1: Evergreen Funds for Ecosystem Development

Hi all, after passing snapshot and a good start to the Tally vote for the pilot phase of the Arbitrum Ventures Initiative we decided to kick off some of the activities.

One of them is the first of a series of community engagement talks on key topics related to the upcoming work. You can find the details in the governance calendar and bellow.

Specifically we’ll have Paul Burmester from the our team speak about his experience in managing a similar 350m fund ecosystem fund as the one we’re trying to setup for Aribturm. Innov8 is the investment arm of Singtel, a 40b mobile network infrastructure provider.
