With Over 20 Years Of Experience In Traditional Financial Management, Fortis Digital Announces Digital Asset Fund to Reduce Friction and Volatility For Web3 Investments
Fortis Digital, a blockchain investment fund, announced its official launch to bridge the gap between TradFi and DeFi, bringing investors closer to Web3 opportunities. The newly founded team is comprised of hedge fund veterans and technology experts, including Mike Boroughs, co-founder of an RIA with $250M in AUM, and Chris Capriccio, former LegalZoom VP of Engineering who created the tech stack which culminated in the company’s 2021 IPO. Additionally, the founders tapped Cameron Sikes, former founder of Deep Ellum Capital, to head up Business Development and Web3 Evangelization.
“While still in its very early innings, we believe the efficiencies and value created through blockchain ecosystems will accelerate global GDP and usher in a new era of disruption and innovation,” said Mike Boroughs, Managing Partner and co-founder of Fortis Digital. “Our goal is to help people get into Web3 and Crypto at the ground floor to participate in the upside of a generational paradigm shift in technology. In an industry known for its volatility, we are one of the few actively managing downside risk, outperforming broader indices during market drawdowns.”
