TechFlow news, February 24 — According to Cointelegraph, Jeff Ren, founder of OKX Ventures, said that for crypto startups to secure venture capital funding, strong technical capabilities are not enough—they must also possess the ability to "read the market and adapt promptly." "While technical strength is important for founders who wish to collaborate with us, we equally value how teams adapt to real user needs. Some of our most successful partners were initially immature during early discussions but later adjusted according to market trends and delivered stronger solutions," Ren stated in a recent interview.
Ren noted that OKX leverages data from its wallet product to analyze market trends and user demands. When evaluating investment opportunities, the primary consideration is whether OKX's wallet infrastructure can create value for founding teams. Taking GameFi as an example, the OKX Wallet can provide game studios with in-game asset purchases and on-chain liquidity support. Looking ahead, Ren expressed particular interest in projects applying AI to enhance the DeFi trading experience.
