Introducing
@HaunVentures
, a firm built for the next generation of the internet. We’ve raised $1.5 billion across two funds to invest in web3. An exciting first step, but the real work begins now.

Why? Because on top of unlocking access to mint our upcoming PFPs, bracelets will now provide even more value by granting exclusive access to <spoilers>. 🤐💖
If you're a holder, consider yourself IN.
Clear your calendars for 4/21! 💥 The inaugural BFF PFP collection opens for minting.
ALL the details will be shared over the next week, including the artist reveal, sneak peeks, and mint mechanics. 👀
Hold onto those bracelets, friends. They are your ticket to all the fun. 👯♀️
