The company plans to use its storytelling skills to curate deals and interview founders building projects that align with their vision of the future. Bankless Ventures portfolio companies won't be getting special access to Bankless Media and won't get special sponsorship deals. 

"We want to onboard one billion people to crypto. It’s our mission and it’s the thesis for both Bankless Media and Bankless Ventures." Hoffman said in the blog post.
