Startup
A company operating within its first stage of investing is known as a startup. While startups may give the impression that the company must be new, that is not always the case.Many companies can have this designation after nearly three years of existence. Typically, a company exits the startup status after a period between 3 to 5 years or after successful funding rounds where capital is acquired.

Accelerating Services
The company is going to use the fresh capital to accelerate its services like Dora Grant DAO, a decentralized grant community, and the launch of Dora Infinite Fund, a permanent venture fund.
Dora Grant DAO has already been launched earlier this year, and it is aiming to provide grants to more post-hackathon-pre-investment stage projects. Moreover, for the Dora Infinite Fund, the company is planning a non-fungible token (NFT) drop this year.
“We’re excited to launch Dora Infinite Ventures. We will fund more frontier tech startups in Web3, quantum and space,” said Steve Ngok, a Partner and Director of Business at DoraHacks.
The latest funding round is not the big-ticket capital raise of the company. It raised $8 million from Binance Labs in a strategic round last year. Dora Factory, DoraHacks’ DAO-as-a-Service incubation, also raised a separate $20 million.
“Empowering multi-chain innovation has always been our mandate at FTX,” said Adam Jin, a Partner at FTX Ventures. “We believe DoraHacks will keep playing a crucial role in Web3, and FTX will work closely with the Dora team to support startup founders.”
