Lunar capital’s strategic crypto fundraising guide: a brief overview

As one of web3’s leading venture capital firms, we at Lunar Capital have recently released a comprehensive guide to strategic fundraising. We see this new guide as an essential resource for individuals, startups, and established entities aiming to navigate the evolving financial landscape in this ‘post-halving’ era of crypto.

The recent Bitcoin halving has altered the economic landscape of cryptocurrency by reducing the reward for mining new blocks. This change not only affects miners but also resonates across the entire market, impacting liquidity and potentially increasing Bitcoin's value. In such a market phase, strategic fundraising becomes crucial for projects that need to adapt and secure funding under new economic conditions.

We wanted to benchmark this critical moment and offer our networks actionable insights and strategies that align with the shifting dynamics. The guide itself delves into what the properties of strategic fundraising in crypto are, and offers first-hand learnings into KOL management, vesting, and much more.
