    • Investors in Velodrome Finance

The project was initially supported by a $150,000 grant and incubated by a venture studio called Information Token. One known investor mentioned is Zonff Partners. The founder of Velodrome Finance is Alexander Cutler.

      This means the project has a mix of early-stage backing and community-driven growth rather than large, well-known venture capital firms publicly disclosed.
