Their focus spans various segments within the decentralized ecosystem, including decentralized finance (DeFi), non-fungible tokens (NFTs), blockchain infrastructure, and Web3 gaming. This broad yet specialized focus allows them to contribute to diverse innovations within the rapidly evolving blockchain landscape.

Master Ventures also runs the Master Ventures Accelerator (MVA), a program designed to further accelerate the growth of promising blockchain startups.
