Alessia Baumgartner, VP of Ecosystems, shares with ORO Beats about all things DWF Labs:

1️⃣ On what DWF Labs is:

"I don't try to put us just in the market maker position or just the investor position. The model spans stages. Investor at pre-seed and seed, liquidity provider as traction builds, market maker for DeFi protocols, later-stage backer when it fits. The role matches where a company actually is in its journey, not a fixed label."

2️⃣ On what earns a yes for project investments:

"The founder's vision matters most. The question is whether what they are proposing can actually be executed. Not necessarily the project in front of them today, since teams often need to pivot, but whether the founder has a proven track record and has executed before. That is a strong signal. We look for exceptional people."

3️⃣ On the work itself:

"Ecosystem management runs the full lifecycle. Catching up with portfolio companies, guiding them through market trends, and handling listing execution in the background. We need to make sure everything, from the information provided by the portfolio companies to the moment it's listed, is done perfectly."
