By investing in 5ire, founded by Pratik Gauri and Prateek Dwivedi, along with crypto financier Vilma Mattila, GEM will solidify its foothold in the emerging markets for a sustainable level 1 blockchains with a highly diversified portfolio of use cases and a growing cache of MoUs with government and private sector partners.
GGY is a Luxembourg-based private alternative investment group that manages a diverse set of investment vehicles focused on emerging markets worldwide.
“This infusion of capital from GEM is aligned with 5ire’s vision of going public. We had successfully closed an oversubscribed seed round of $21 million which took our valuation to $110 million within two months of incorporation. We are really excited about this $100 million investment from GEM as it is a testimony to the market confidence in our offering,” CEO and cofounder Gauri said.
The platform plans to use the fresh funds for the expansion of the ecosystem, which involves liaising with government stakeholders in India and upcoming international markets, invest in technology and resources, hiring, and enhance adoption of 5ireChain.
5ire has been working diligently on the UN’s Sustainability goals and partnering with nations across three continents as the first step in this direction.
