Origin: Bringing VC-Level Crypto Investments to the Masses

Hedera-Based Origin Emerges from Stealth, Enables VC Treatment for Everyday Users

Origin, a novel launchpad built on the Hedera blockchain, has emerged from stealth mode to democratize investment opportunities in the crypto space. The platform aims to provide everyday users with access to promising projects, previously reserved for venture capitalists (VCs) and institutional investors.

According to a press release, Origin enables investors to participate in ground-floor opportunities, streamlining the investment process and fostering a more inclusive ecosystem. The platform conducts comprehensive research and due diligence, helping investors diversify their crypto portfolios.

Origin is built on Hedera's proof-of-stake blockchain and is funded by the HBAR Foundation grant. Hedera has processed over 70 billion mainnet transactions and boasts an impressive governing council, including Google, Dell, IBM, and LG.

Alexander Russman, Vice President at the HBAR Foundation and Head of the Consumer Engagement Fund at Hedera Network, commented on Origin's launch, stating, "Origin is redefining industry standards and empowering investors from all backgrounds." He added that Hedera supports Origin's vision to democratize investments while boosting transparency and inclusivity.

Origin aims to level the playing field between VCs and retail investors by providing everyday users with access to high-quality crypto projects. The platform will vet projects before listing them, adding one to two projects per month. Interested users can sign up and connect their wallets to gain early access upon the platform's launch.

Eric Faust, Chief of Business Development at Origin, believes that the future of crypto is about transformation, not just speculation. By providing early access to enterprise-grade projects, Origin presents a shift toward a more open, efficient, and accessible digital economy for the everyday person.
