Memes became part of the crypto culture, and so did we.
We remember back in the day, when as a group of friends who spent a lot of time chatting and sharing internet jokes, we had one of the most important intellectual realization of our lives: memes shapes culture, culture shapes behavior, behavior define our future. Memes were a superpower.
That same day was born in Caracas the instagram channel "El Kilombo" which 8 years later have become the most influential instagram entertainment brand in Latin America.
But Caracas would not see this newborn baby grow up. Being victims of a government that destroyed the monetary power of its people, we were forced to emigrate. The chosen destination was Argentina, which years later followed the same sad destiny of our country. Colliding twice with the same stone led us to a second realization: crypto and the internet of value are the solutions to some of the most important socioeconomics problems not only of the two countries that saw us grown but of the entire world. Since that day we are obsessed with crypto.
After achieving financial success with El Kilombo, we realized that we could be part of this technological revolution in a unique way: we had the capital to finance the projects, an engaged community of more than 4 million people to make them known and a top notch experience to communicate in one of the most effective formats of communication of the history. Since then we are committed to help create the future and spread the message for the benefit of our society.
The internet has always been about connecting people. Over the past three decades, internet technology has evolved, and the way we all interact with the web has evolved with it. Much has changed, but three key eras of online-based communities could be thought of as:
Web 1.0 - connected us online
Web 2.0 - connected us into online communities
Web 3.0 - connected us into a community-owned virtual world
Web 3.0 is a digital universe that goes beyond the Internet as we know it today. This vision for the future state of the Web has the potential to transform our social interactions, business transactions, and the Internet economy as a whole. Web 3.0 is still in its nascent stages, but the crypto networks of the open virtual world of Web 3.0 are already providing a glimpse of the future of the Internet. This potential has prompted companies like Facebook to turn to the Metaverse, which could serve as a catalyst for other Web 2.0 tech giants and investors to follow. The mobile Internet of Web 2.0 changed how, where, when and why we use the Internet. That in turn changed the products, services and companies we used, which in turn changed our business models, culture and politics - the Web 3.0 Metaverse has the potential to do the same.
Thats why we've evolved at the highest level from the #1 meme channel in Latin America to a multi-strategy investment firm that back early-stage crypto ventures in Web 3.0. We believe that maximizing both returns and impact requires the ability to invest more than just capital. The complexity of an innovation like cryptocurrency requires educating people in a fun and engaging way, and that's definitely something you don't get around the corner. From founders to founders, our support for teams extends beyond launch, including marketing strategy assistance, support from our +4 million-strong community, games guild, intros with our network of +30 of the world's top crypto KOLs, and introductions to key funds and partners in the crypto industry.
We are Kilombo, because as cryptocurrency takes its long road to maturity, there will always be areas of exciting and early experimentation. If you're in it for multiple cycles, we'd love to work with you.
