We launched the Lisk EMpower Fund with $15M for founders in Africa, Southeast Asia, and Latin America.
But our edge isn’t capital. It’s presence.
From Nairobi to Bali to Buenos Aires, we’re building side by side with the people shaping Web3 where it matters most 🧵
In September, we brought 36 people together in Kenya — founders, partners, storytellers, and our own team.
No polished stages. Just space for real conversations: navigating regulation, closing capital gaps, building connections, and finding partners who stick around.
In August, 50+ founders spent a week under one roof in Bali at our Builders Retreat.
Workshops in the mornings. Pitch sessions in the afternoons. Football, night markets, and late-night debates after hours.
By the end: sharper products, stronger pitches, lasting networks.
These weren’t one-off events. They’re part of a deliberate strategy:
→ Be present in ecosystems
→ Earn trust before hype
→ Back founders with capital and context
That’s how we’ve started supporting teams like and @AFRIKABALHQ in Africa, and @idrx_co in Indonesia while expanding to Latin America with new residencies and partnerships.
For us, proximity → partnership → progress.
It’s how ecosystems grow.
And it’s why the Lisk EMpower Fund is built differently.
