It can be hard to imagine a better internet, since the one we have is already a technological marvel. But the truth is the internet can –– and will –– be so much better: more trustworthy, more secure, and more efficient, among other improvements. Warburg Serres Investments is at the forefront of this transformation, helping our founders commercialize their ideas and build next-generation digital brands. The Tomorrow Fund is our flagship fund targeting early-stage venture projects under this thesis. At Warburg Serres, we came to love crypto only gradually and with a healthy dose of initial skepticism, making us very different from other crypto and Web3 investment firms. At the same time, we came to believe in crypto early enough to have a reputation as the “OG’s” in the crypto space. Our investors and portfolio companies are composed of veteran entrepreneurs, software engineers, product designers, tech founders, researchers, and Fortune 100 thought leaders. We have over a decade of experience investing in and supporting the broader web3 agenda, and we look forward to sharing our knowledge with you.
