Meetings during which the start-up studio and its prospects discuss the concept, development prospects, financial possibilities, getting acquainted with each other: “We want to work with founders, and not with companies,” Bilal Alami justifies. Before continuing: “When we support a fund, we want to make the first investment, put the first card and support projects so that they can best benefit from it.” Concretely, if the fifteen or so meetings lead to a partnership, Pyratzlabs becomes the owner of 7% of the project, in return pumping out an envelope of €200,000. In the six months following the agreement, the start-up studio supports the project in its development and management, in particular for the organization of fundraising.

The goal is to create a complete Web 3 system and, through that, to foster synergies between different projects. Thus, Pyratzlabs prioritizes the gaming segments, DeFi and markets Before considering expanding its offer to include insurance services, for example.
