Investment Background
At Pacific Meta Ventures, we have chosen to invest in Sonzai Labs due to the exceptional potential demonstrated by their founders and team in advancing the mass adoption of Web3. Sonzai Labs is focused on developing mini-app games on Telegram, a platform that aligns perfectly with our vision of fostering innovative and scalable solutions for the Web3 ecosystem.
Telegram is a messaging application with over 200 million monthly active users (MAU), widely regarded as a primary communication platform for businesses, projects, and professionals. Telegram groups play a crucial role in facilitating seamless communication, especially in the Web3 and tech sectors.
Moreover, Telegram’s rich gamification features, such as mini-games and bots (automated chat programs), have proven to be effective tools for enhancing user interaction and engagement. Sonzai Labs has identified and capitalized on these elements, creating cutting-edge projects that leverage Telegram’s unique capabilities to bring value to its users.
As Pacific Meta Ventures, we are proud to support Sonzai Labs in their expansion into the Japanese market. By acting as both an investor and a marketing partner, we are committed to assisting them in realizing their vision of driving Web3’s mass adoption through innovative mini-app solutions. This partnership represents a significant step forward in unlocking the potential of Web3 technologies on mainstream platforms.
