Access
Nural provides exceptional access to some of the world’s top blockchain fund managers and marquee direct investment opportunities. This includes top funds like Polychain and Sfermion, and direct opportunities such as Yuga Labs and Aptos.
Diversification
Blockchain is still a very nascent asset class with tremendous upside potential. However, this comes with extreme volatility. Nural believes that a geographically diverse and sector agnostic approach is the optimal way to capture value creation through blockchain investing.
Education
Nural believes a key component of expanding the blockchain industry is to provide education for LPs, partners, and the community. A high touch approach, hands-on training, and educational resources are several ways that Nural promotes education.
